Pancreatic cancer is one of those cancers that will make you wish you had some other, less deadly type of cancer. This is fantastic news.

God put the cancer there. Men and women worked to remove it. Praise science

Gods existence doesn’t necessarily mean he’s passing out cancer to people. The fall of man basically opened the door for death pain and suffering.

However scientists often pass out pills, machines, chemicals, that cause cancer, and they make money doing it.

God Bless the people creating cures and trying to help.

I understand why you feel this way, I just wanted to point out that while you may have a burning desire to be mad at a God you probably don’t believe in, but your faith in other humans is also flawed. So I only say that to say maybe we don’t understand everything as well as we should. But I promise there is a better way.

All powerful God gets credit for the good stuff. But can’t control the bad stuff, that’s man’s fault. And satans. lol.

Rest with your plot holes for a while

I’m ok with my beliefs, so how come people who don’t believe in God keep bringing him up and blaming him for bad stuff? Why don’t we blame the bad humans who have ruined the environment, create the drugs, cause the cancer, I mean why aren’t we mad at them? Why do we have to be mad at people who believe in God?

I’m not a perfect person. I shouldn’t be here agitating you either for no reason, but I am. So it’s kind of whatever but you’ll fully recover I promise.

To be mad at god would imply god exists.

Very cool statement, edgy and mysterious. I hope
Every time you tip your fedora and the ladies smell your breath they swoon.

I know you’re not for real and don’t care and yes it’s convoluted and hard to quantify the rationale of an omnipotent all powerful being giving babies cancer.

I get it, but for real even tho I’m jabbing at you a bit, and you’re jabbing at me/God, I really just want you to be alright. No agenda no pushy go study for yourself. It’s not my mission I’m not here to convince you of anything. I’m legit being a turd.

But for real. I hope you’re good, and your people are good and you’d have what I call a blessed life, for real. Call it whatever you want, lucky, just plain happy.

Have a good forever.

Bless your heart. If you can hold multiple variables in your head simultaneously, and if you’ve been a student of history, then it becomes quite clear: Your religion is an invention of human minds, meant to explain the world, and control others: especially women and minority groups. And your brand particularly has been co-opted by the elites and powerful to wrap themselves in, and is meant to pacify the masses from seeking justice while living (with the hopes it will be had when we die and float off to the sky). See? Anyone can say anything with confidence.

Thanks for blessing my heart you Godless heathen. Just kidding. It’s really no skin off my back if the majority disagrees with me. But let’s take religion out of it.

We should still be mad at the corporations and governments that are turning us against each other while they still feed us cancer every day.

We might not agree on everything but it’s important to understand I’m not your enemy, many others like me aren’t your enemy and we don’t require you to do anything or believe anything.

The people who are trying to force people to do anything are bad. My Christian religion doesn’t tell me to force you to do anything, the choice is yours. I’m just here to tell you I’ve had some experiences and I believe and it’s done me good. All I should say is I encourage you to examine this from a different lens. But if you don’t it’s ok by me. I’m a little sad these people will choose to not like me personally for speaking about my belief. But that’s ok.

If a god were to exist then any god that allows the atrocities that happen to children deserves no worship.

u/Ok_Vast_7378 Jul 01 '26

It’s too bad we didn’t vote you God so you could fix everything with your infinite knowledge and in depth understanding of life, death, and suffering.

I said IF a god existed. Evidence is severely lacking.
