You say that NOW, where we live more than 40 years thanks to that guy. Go look the conditions in the hospital in the early XIX century, and you'll tell me.

Well first of all germ theory wasn't introduced by Pasteur it was introduced by Robert Koch (Pasteur expanded upon Koch's work).
Secondly Koch didn't just pull germ theory out of the air and expect everyone to go along with it, he set out a number of criteria called Koch's postulates... these postulates have been tested and peer reviewed over more than a century and are still used today,abeit with a few modifications based on new knowledge (molecular Koch's postulates).
If you take an infectious agent and work through each of Koch's postulates you can prove that an infectious disease is derived from an infectious agent and not by spontaneous generation.
Take your quack science and go back to the dark ages.

Then how come we get these epidemics of people breaking down all at once? Shouldn't it all just be totally random?

If our immune system is strong and healthy, we could sleep with people dying with “contagious disease” and never even get sick.
Sounds like someone is in denial of his secret boyfriend having some horrible, communicable disease.

The so-called Spanish Flu in 1918 contradicts your claims. Most of those who died were strong, healthy and in the prime of their lives. Children and the elderly were most likely to survive. Having an immune system that was strong and healthy was detrimental.
Why? Well, it seems that the Spanish Flu caused an extreme response by the immune system. The stronger your immune system, the stronger it responded. It was actually one's own immune system that was fatal. having a less developed or compromised immune system meant that it responded less, so children and elderly people were more likely to survive.

People who spout this shit disgust me, more than all the other fundies out there. People have died believing the drivel of snakeoil salesmen and faith healers - people have let their children die.

What the fuck did I see under the microscope, then?
And allow me to find someone with swine flu to cough in your face for about a day and we'll see how you're feeling.

How can someone ask how people survive disease and then talk about the immune system?

To be fair, stress does affect the body's resistance of germs and bacteria.
On the other hand, Pasteur was an intelligent man who debunked ridiculous ideas with simple experimentation, and germs are not visible to the human eye.

Hmmm! Whoopee for freedom of speech and everything, but I wonder why Bob Livingston wants to make himself sound like a twit? Is it a case of an overactive ego realizing its master/slave is unable to achieve even the common or unremarkable levels of normal comprehension of the ordinary citizen and so resorts to hare-brained and individualistic beliefs of sheer teetering madness in order to deceive itself that it is superior to the common herd?
Ironically, the big ego just makes its host look like a gibbering loony and decidedly inferior.

Except it's not a 'theory'. Germs have been proven to exist.
I'm wondering if you're the type of guy who thinks illness is caused by imbalances of the humours.
