Let me take it on a 1st grade level so you might be able to understand.

You equated not eating to God's will. And I asked if that applies to anorexics.

Game, set, match?

No. That’s not what I said.

Perhaps you need ti revisit 1st grade?

Anorexics are folks suffering from a psychological problem that makes them think that, no matter how thin they get, they are still fat. That is, as you well know, a different situation than a person who is dying, nothing can stop it, and THEY decide to NOT be fed artificially in a vain attempt by others to prolong life. The Pope knew he was dying, and that inserting a feeding tube wasn’t going to stop that. He just chose, for himself, not to do that, and the Church does not require it for anyone.

You’re completely wrong on this one and the comparison you used.

She’s equating God’s Will to someone dying from a terminal illness. That’s a whole lot different than someone killing herself/himself by starving oneself by choice - and anorexics starve themselves by choice for whatever reasoning they use.

Game, set, match doesn’t apply in this argument if we’re going the logical route.
