My mother was a christian scientist and didn't believe in disease. my family "respected her beliefs" when she found a teeny, tiny lump on her breast that could have easily been removed with surgery. Instead of doing that, she decided to heal it with Christian Science. she lied to her family and told us she had taken care of it. She did nothing but read christian science literature as her lump get bigger and the cancer spread. All the while keeping her family completely in the dark about what was going on with her. she continued this in the face of stage 4 cancer, believing that a "deeper understanding of christian science" would heal her. These beliefs were so strong that even when I would urge her to get treatment she refused and told me that my belief that she had cancer would prevent her healing. Which is why she didn't tell anyone until it was too late.
Christian science didn't heal her. And the people in this religion that she loved so much abandoned her at her time of need. Her last few months were spent in pain and suffering because she refused even the most basic pain medications. No friends or anyone from the church visited her. She barely talked to me or anyone in the family. She just read her christian science literature and called her practioner (christian science "healer") who also abandoned her shortly before her death saying she was too steeped in "materia medica" (aka modern medicine) because she had taken some morphine for pain. She died at age 59. Christian science is a dangerous belief system. It should NOT be respected. It needs to be challenged, especially when there are children involved. It makes me feel really sad to realize how much neglect is steeped into this religion.

 

[face the facts]

next time people tell you about their wonderful all powerful gods and want to convert you,
just ask their god to show itself, dont hide,
they will be offended and leave you alone

Look at chinaman.
They pray to MAO who killed millions of chinese.

Can you name the greatest mass murderer of the 20th century? No, it wasn’t Hitler or Stalin. It was Mao Zedong.

According to the authoritative “Black Book of Communism,” an estimated 65 million Chinese died as a result of Mao’s repeated, merciless attempts to create a new “socialist” China. Anyone who got in his way was done away with -- by execution, imprisonment or forced famine.

Religion are all human creations n imaginations. Basically life is simple, humans make it tough n complicated. Why so many versions of religion were created?

There should be a respect for others to have the right to have their own beliefs and opinions.

But too often, in the age of political correctness, this is confused with you must respect others' beliefs and opinions. Kumbaya, the world together as one and all kinds of related nonsense.

The commies also have a silly morbid obsession with creating preserved corpses for their political worshipping. I guess if you're unapologetically atheist, you would look for spirituality and meaning in other things.
