“Sometimes it is the only hope we have left.”
This is not such a case. This is a medical challenge. You’ve given up all other hope and default to prayer, and seem to advocate others do the same.
“Prayer doesn’t make sense. It’s foolishness.”
In this case, I agree. It’s foolishness to pray in lieu of taking proper medical precautions.
I don’t think it would hurt to do both - but medicine has done a pretty good job of relieving much pain and suffering on balance.
I wasn’t addressing the superbug(s) with the “no hope” remark. I happen to believe new antibiotics or other more sophisticated systems of treatment can and should be developed.
I’m not a research scientist, obviously. I am not advocating people reject medical science.
What I am advocating is that people not reject the power of God and the angels to protect us from all manner of things, far beyond pathogens ( or in the case of prions, non-living protein templates), relying strictly on the power and knowledge of man as the savior of humankind.
Yeah, I called my relatives who were nurses when my kids were sick.
Medicine is not a religion, however. It may save your mortal life, but it cannot save your soul.
