Jesus is the only one who can heal their families at this point.
his parents were Christian Scientists and never took him in to the doctor, they just prayed over him instead. And now he has a deformed skull and no eyes.
So Jesus helps you and others, just not this kid?
I'm pointing out this dissonance because you said "Jesus is the only one". The Jesus character isn't the only archetypal representation of truth and healing.
> Christians are not the same as Christian Scientists.
You said ONLY JESUS can heal their family relationships.
The Christian Scientists have more faith in Jesus than you because they believed God will also protect and heal the body.
Unlike you apparently since you want to distance yourself from them.
> You're using me to assure yourself that your atheism is good and correct.
I'm not an atheist.
> You took it off on a whole other tangent that doesn't pertain to the point
It was perfectly pertanant.
> you're feigning obtuseness
No. I'm calling you out for being a hypocrite.
> your basic questions ("Why don't Christians just pray and take no further action, if Jesus is all they need? And conversely, if you Christians believe you have to go to the doctor, then why don't you go to the doctor for everything? Which is it, Christians?")
No, I said "So Jesus helps you and others, just not this kid?".
You mock the Christian Scientists but you're the same kind of fundamentalist. Doctors are obviously untrustworthy. Seems like these people are more intuitive to that than you are. You should understand that as a mod here of all places. Shouldn't trusting God for healing take precedent over trusting corrupted men?
Not trusting doctors isn't the same as refusing to eat food any more because God will nourish you. LMAO
Obviously got under your skin since you reeeeed in such a long response.

Nice comeback. Just dig deeper into the cognitive dissonance.
