Thus socks in sandals are demonic, and thus The Son of Man would have never had the urge to wear them. If his socks got wet while walking the lake, it's proof of evil extant in the world, and thus a proof of God.

Most people fail this test because our experiences seem so real and important to us. It takes a certain kind of person to say, "Well, maybe my feelings and experiences were mistaken, and I'm going with the science." Pat yourself on the back, all you who've done this. Right now.

If you did a google search you should find it somewhere (I can't be bothered, sorry!) They made a pretty interesting show out of it. Amusingly, the first 30% or so of the results they checked were very positive and it started looking like the homeopathic treatment would have a significant positive effect. Once all the result were uncovered it had no discernible effect at all. That's why it's so much more sensible to have faith / belief in things that cannot be laboratory tested - you can't do a double blind trial of whether God exists or not!

As a result of just two days course of sugar pills, not only was I able to avoid surgery and have nearly no stone problems since (and those few episodes since treated successfully homeopathically), my hiatal hernia healed after 20 years of agony. If this was due to a placebo effect, fine with me. No side effects, no surgery. Why don't we use this and if it works, what's the problem? If it doesn't, no harm done. Many homeopaths by the way use and believe in convential medicine as well. Whatever works best!

I think the alternative industry in North America is much much bigger than here. Though there are a lot of fashionista types in it, when you get down to ordinary street level for ordinary people, it's quite a good option for things that are minor worries rather than major life threatening events.

Did your mother bury as many kids as made it to age 15? How many times has your family fled the city when rumours of a plague got too close? Is your father on his third wife, the previous ones being lost in childbirth, including your own mother? That words like cholera, small pox, tuberculosis, polio, etc. do not have intense personal and horrible memories for you is a sign of the value of the gift that you take for granted. Medical science has done far more for people in the last 200 years than superstition has in the last 2000 or 20000 years. Take out the word 'modern' and replace it with 'alternate' and you will have a much more truthful statement. Do you know how many billions of pounds, dollars and Euros are taken in by the supplemental and holistic medicine industry? No, I am not a doctor or a pharma shill, in case you wanted to believe I am lying. mat, you really, really don’t have an appreciation of what vaccinations and the rest of modern medicine do for you.
