Reply to Damar Hamlin continues to progress but remains in critical condition. by PrincessBananas85

Christians who attribute any bit of a good outcome to prayer are deluded people. Take that as you will. In my personal experience, religiosity is a trauma response/coping mechanism. It doesn’t make them bad or not worthy of everything good life has to offer, but it does make them naive. They may not understand or care how disrespectful it is to downplay the efforts of medical professionals saving a man’s life by saying it’s, “probably a mixture of the doctors and the prayer.” It’s not. Obviously. In only 1 of 2 scenarios does Hamlin not die on that field. It’s not the one where everyone immediately starts mass prayer.

One would think so, yes. But part of the power they hold is maintaining the system of haves and have-nots. If they solved the world’s problems and people didn’t have to suffer so goddamn much, they’d start losing their grip.

Space Hotel is more profitable for certain people. The unfortunate reality is that these people have an abundance of two things, and a lack of one thing. I’ll list the three and you can work out which are which.

Money, power, interest in helping others
