[After being asked whether he's in effect saying that sick people should be exorcised instead of being treated by doctors]
I can't remember the exact verses. But the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John are are full of them. So yes that is what I'm saying.

He is right in that Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are full of verses.
You crack-head. You can't remember the verses to back up your argument, then you say the other guy is denying god? I think god is pissed that you spend too much time masturbating with silly putty and not enough time filling your noggin with the Supreme Word of the lorD!
Well, then, at least you'll save a bundle on medical insurance and bills. You might want to invest that money in life insurance; if you indeed avoid any and all medical treatments (even antibiotic ointments or band-aids for scrapes and such), you may need it sooner than you expect.
In that case, I will tell all the priests who regularly go, with good reasons to the doctor when they feel bad, and preachers and so. What I can´t guarantee you is the answer.

And you're like them, embodiment777. Full of shit. Hence the name Buybull. That vile book is bullshit. And you bought into it.
If the Bible is such a good book, wouldn't you be reading it again and again, getting to know some passages by heart, getting together with friends and compare nice quotes, and so on and so forth?
Wow... I am a Catholic, and I know damn well that anything that CAN be treated by doctors SHOULD be treated by doctors.
IF, for some reason, there is no cure for whatever illness the person has, and IF you feel a religious practice will help, you get an Annointment of the Sick, not an exorcism!
Even by your logic, exorcism is for DEMONIC POSSESSION, NOT ILLNESS!!!

Here's the big challenge for you, E777. Ever time, yes, ever time you are sick, treat yourself with only prayer and exorcisms. No treatment except pray and exorcisms. I'm sure you can't, I'm sure you won't.<<
Statistically speaking, E777 has _already_ been saved at least once by modern medicine - thanks to clean water, dietary supplements, and herd immunity from vaccination campaigns.
If E777 was suggesting exorcism only as a replacement for psychiatric treatment, then the life-saving statistics are considerably less, but the idea is no less absurd.
I've been denying the Word of God for years, because I have been denying God for years.
Reading rubbish like your post only reinforces my views.

Live with reality, because it's all you have. That's my philosiphy, Muism, in a nutshell.
Confused?
