And I am not saying that this is bad. On the contrary. However, prayer was also available 200 years ago, and people were still dying because of conditions that became curable later, thanks to the progress of science.
What are you suggesting, that we should all become like the Amish? Perhaps...
The living and dying on this earth is only comforted by their knowledge of pleasure and pain. The Lord and Satan have a bit of a feud going on here in case you haven’t noticed.
