The latter has much less experience curing disease with local vegetation.

Reason, logic, proper discernment of the charisma, a developed eschatology, hermeneutics, exegesis, 4,000 years of written observation and the lack of a belief in grinning, malevolent spirits affecting human society as they peer out from behind every rock and tree .

Now you tell me, what is the difference between a witch doctor and a psychologist, a classical psychiatrist or a marxist who spouts a belief in an imperative economic eschatology?

Question: What is the difference, besides the fact that one is breathing, between a dead atheist and a live atheist?

I think you need to start thinking three times, at least before you speak.

Shalom.
