Religion And “common” Sense by beway(m): 9:27pm On Jul 04, 2015
Religion is good but it doesn't and shouldn't take away reasoning and common sense. Too often than reasonable we hear of stories of those who are sick being RUSHED to CHURCH.. yes to the church and the pastor spends minutes, hours and even days praying for these sick ones only for us to hear a few hours or days later that this once sick person(s) is now DEAD and guess who takes the blame? To my amazement GOD, yes, the pastor says to the relatives of the dead "it is the will of God". At this point I wonder what has gone wrong with the COMMON SENSE given to us by GOD but which in this case(s) wasn't utilized. Correct me if am wrong: when your CAR is faulty(sick as it were), you take it to an AUTO-MECHANIC; when your ELECTRONICS are bad, you take them to an ELECTRONICIAN; if you want a DEGREE you go to SCHOOL, you STUDY hard and when it's time for an EXAM, after praying you go to the EXAM HALL and write your exams and maybe pray thereafter for success. You DON'T SIT AT HOME and pray that you pass the exams without actually writing it! You don't take your faulty car or electronics to the pastor to pray for it to be good again rather your prayer is that God gives you the financial ability to be able to pay for it's repairs. Therefore when someone is SICK why not take the person to a DOCTOR (HOSPITAL) and then begin to pray that God heals the individual through the doctors... Why gamble with human life? No doubt prayer is powerful and the ONLY means of communication with God but even Jesus the Founder of Christianity said “Those who are healthy do not need a physician, but those who are ill do." (Luke 5:31). Jesus himself acknowledged the need for sick persons to seek medical attention! The holy book also says that "faith without works is dead"... Your believing that God can heal the sick is faith but where is the works? You take the person to an hospital and keep praying to God leaving the rest in his hands. A simple malaria, typhoid and the rest will end up taking the life of a person because we acted without the not so common common sense! Let's be WISE!!!
