Hi Sealybobo: Science can also prove that spiritual healing is real and natural, and the procedure of exorcism or deliverance actually does work effectively to remove demonic obsessions that otherwise take over control of minds of patients (who might express their sickness as schizophrenia, multiple personalities, or other illnesses that have been cured if caused by generational phobias or addictions in the spirit which Christian prayer heals).
If you are serious about science, you might look into that area of medical research.
You are right, that the church and religious attachments to controlling conditions on faith HAS blocked science. Even Christians argue that who have been trying to promote knowledge of spiritual healing, but are equally blocked by fundamental religionists
as fundamental atheists who are both threatened by the notion of scientific proof.
Some of the fundamentalists are afraid that if science proves spiritual healing, then people will worship science and only believe what is proven.
The fear and division is mutual. People who are not afraid of change, will welcome scientific proof of spiritual healing and the impact it will have on society.
That more and more people are waking up and not believing in fairytales.
Think what you want to but this isn't true. 95% of the human race believes in something greater than self. Only about 5% identify as Nihilists who believe in nothing. This statistic traces back to the origins of man.
Now, you'll find propaganda to show that membership in Christian churches are declining in America, or fewer people report attending regular religious services, etc. Religions come and go, trends also change with times, but the number of people who believe in something greater than self is not changing.
We see since the internet more and more people are waking up and realizing there is no God. Never before have we had the resources to go seek out all the facts. Until the internet all you could do was
a. Talk to a christian
b. Talk to a priest
c. Read the bible
Any of these choices are bad because christians are brainwashed, priests are either liars fools or brainwashed too and the bible was written 100 years after Jesus by a cult.
We also know why people are religious. It's because we didn't know science. God was the only way to explain away things we didn't understand. Time to evolve. God is dead or at least dying. What, the other 998 religions are fake but yours is not? And yesterday I saw a thing on Facebook about a new athiest church that is growing like crazy. We are not afraid because we know if there is a God he isn't the Christian's, Jews or Muslim's version of God so we don't fear mocking you guys because we know 100% for sure you are fos. If there is a God, he doesn't give a shit what you or I are typing. Rediculous. This was the church/kings way of controlling the people. Gullible unevolved uneducated people. It even took me a couple days with a true athiest to realize there is no God. I used to say I don't believe the Christian's version but I do believe in God. Then they educated me on why humans do that. First off, I've been brainwashed since birth too. I just woke up. But don't you think I want to believe there is a heaven? But it's just the most rediculous stories in the bible. Anyone who takes those stories literally can't be that smart. And the ones that don't, well they are really christians are they? The church says yes to keep you as a member but the truly faithful say you either believe in miracles and fairytales or go to hell. I know God wouldn't do that, if there was one.
No, it's not believing in miracle or fairytales
but understanding forgiveness and healing that makes the difference
between heavenly peace and hellish suffering.
Forgiveness heals regardless if you are atheist and have no concept of God and Jesus.
Unforgiveness causes people to go through hell even if you are a Christian and believe in following God and Christ.
These are natural universal laws that apply to all people, because of our conscience
and human nature to learn by experience, carry issues, and project them until these are resolved, so we can study and understand the human process, relationships, and society.
Science will show how all people are affected equally.
Buddhists call this breaking the cycle of karma to find spiritual peace that is immaterial.
Christians call this breaking generational curses through Christ to receive healing grace
and find rebirth and new life in the spirit.
Either way, life is about the process of spiritual or social human development in stages.
Although the Bible represents this in religious symbols, it is still a universal process for all humanity to go through, individually and collectively as tribes, nations, and global society.
That is what the Bible outlines, where Christ Jesus represents universal fulfillment where all humanity reaches spiritual maturity and harmony through a unified understanding.
If there is any "miracle" it amazes me that each person can see life differently, unique to our experiences and expressions nobody else shares quite the same like our unique DNA,
but we can be united in understanding regardless of our differences that all have purpose.
