Faith and Cancer.
Faith is one of the things that humans can
not live without. It can be faith in any God that you ascribe to, but what
happens when you receive the news that you are terminal with Cancer?
In some cases, the person get so angry at
their specific God that they start cursing that God for allowing this thing to
happen to them. They break all ties with the religion for allowing this evil
disease to happen to them. They start looking for answers in all the
unlikeliest of places. Some turn to fortune tellers, others to tarot cards and
so on.
Yet the diagnoses of some bring them closer
to their God and they realize that there is a purpose with anything that happens
in their lives. Some start to get so fanatical about their religion that they
do not even seek treatment for their condition.
Yet others that get closer to their religion will not allow a doctor to even
suggest any treatment as this would defile their bodies with chemicals that is
not natural to their bodies.
It is so interesting what the religion does to the families of the sufferer. Some play the blame game; they try to blame everybody and all creation for their misfortune of contracting this disease. Some families stand together in faith and allow the doctors to do what they need to do in order to heal the cancer if not detected too late. Some are healed completely with the medication that are being used, as they have faith in their God, in the doctors and in the medications being used.-and the cancer was detected early enough.
What reaction will you have towards your faith when you go in for a normal scan and they inform you that you have cancer?
