You are an idiot faith healer who personally denies medical immaging technology. Next time you are ill don’t be a hypocrit and be consistant in what YOU ADVOCATE FOR OTHERS. The effects of PTSD can be physically seen in the brain with MRI scans. Since you personally are denying the validity of MRI technology, hold fast to your claimed faith and don’t use them when it is you. MRI is probably of the devil since it contradicts your position anyway.

You are an idiot faith healer who personally denies medical immaging [sic] technology. Next time you are ill dont be a hypocrit [sic] and be consistant in what YOU ADVOCATE FOR OTHERS.

The above is an example of reactive reading. You see a few phrases and react to them based on your own unique experiences and limited understanding and then incorrectly assume that your reactions were intended by the author. Specifically, you make ridiculous extrapolations ("you personally are denying the validity of MRI technology...") or misinterpretations ("The effects of PTSD can be physically seen in the brain with MRI scans..."*) or flat-out confabulations ("...be consistant in what YOU ADVOCATE FOR OTHERS...) or irrelevant and irrational conclusions ("MRI is probably of the devil since it contradicts your position anyway") and then incorrectly assume those were intended or disputed by or had their origin in the author. Additionally you seem to equate "faith" with "faith healing," a distinction that nowhere exists in the text.
You, like the Supreme Court, Roe v Wade, and the Constitution, are projecting your own beliefs and prejudices into written material where they don't exist and attributing them to the author. The answer is to stick to what is actually written (and to use spell check).
*You can observe a person's brain via MRI while sticking a knife in him or while he's hallucinating bugs crawling under his skin and see distinctive activity. But you would be incorrect to conclude that the bug hallucinations are real in the same way the knife is real because both produce MRI readings. And you would be incorrect (in a Mary Baker Eddy way) to conclude that the knife is no more real than the hallucinations because both produce MRI readings.

PTSD is a hoax, a fake, like fibromyalgia or Lyme disease. Bunkum and nonsense.
