It's ok for them to look to "Him" for hope and security, but the reasoning is what's wrong. That there's some vengeful all powerful being out there who kills 100's of thousands because they didn't build enough temples and pray on their knees enough.... so now the survivors have to give everything they have to some evangilists working in God's name (and driving Vipers) just so that they won't be given the smack down as well.

That's not hope... they may think it is, but infact, it's not.

i was refering to the post about the kid with that disease and with the Jesus helmet, what is wrong with that? of course that parents only hope for their child to get better is "God" atm until science is more advanced.

but yes i agree with people who rely their lives on God, it helps to spread disease worldwide because people dont believe in medicine, everything comes from asia now.

i have a friend from the Phillipines and they belived in elves, and he fell in a well when he was young and his parents took him to a witch doctor because "elves" did it to them. that is a little to much into beliefs.
