I am a christian, with a strong leaning towords the envangelical strain
and its associated gift of miracle working

I am also a student of science and its requirement for some rigorous thinking

I recently read a post about a Nigerian pastor emphasising his 'potential' Ebola curing miracolus powers
The xtian gragra part of me was more than happy to accept this
but instantly, my science bit cautioned me to think a little bit and apply some logic

Logic : Let's talk about sex outside the label of sin
if you have sex with a lady that was developed in a petri dish
without human contact till today and she is past the age of menopause
you won't think about using a condom would you?

afterall, folks use CDs for sex primarily for two reasons
1) Preventing unwanted Pregnancy
2) Preventing STD


Now, if folks feel otherwise, then you'd find out that they'll have loads of unprotected sex, right?
and a lot of them will end up with diseases and unwanted pregnancy
Whereas, those that were more cautious would then to have lesser incidence of such

So this calls for the application of some wisdom when advertising your 'potential' miracle working power

Xtian gragra : you're a doubter of faith and the healing power of Jesus

Logic : Not so. Perhaps, it would be much better if the pastor moves his headquarters to the parts of Guinea that are infected
Xtian gragra : But daz not the way miracles work. You have to come to the source to show your willingness to get healed

Logic : But Jesus said we shld go into the world to preach the gospel and heal the sick
and besides, if the missionaries waited outside our shores, we won't have gone to them to get saved

xtian gragra and Logic then reach a compromise: Perhaps pastor can open the church in the infested villages in Guinea far from Nigeria and without going outside the church building simply advertise that they should all come to him for healing.
yes,

...that looks like faith
