Thank who she's alive

To be healed, or not to be healed. That is the question!

So here is a scenario for you. A 1 year old child is diagnosed with cancer. It's a rare form and little research has been done. Doctors give her a 10% chance of survival, and warn the parents that this going to require many extensive and painful procedures. The little 1yr old lives with her Dad in the hospital for the next year and a half, slowly getting better after enduring such painful events that we couldn't even imagine. Finally after stem cell transplants, radiation and several bouts of chemotherapy she is deemed cancer free and released to go home and live as normal life as possible. Now riddled with scars both physical and mental, and possibly not able to bare children or be able to grow a full head of hair ever again.

How do you look at this?

My own walk away from the church was strengthened by this story. So many of my close friends looked at this young girl and kept praising god for healing her from such a dire condition. Completely overlooking what pain and torment that she just went through. Who is to blame for all her hurt, all the pain and stress her family and friends went through. The answer is a simple one. No one! No one is to blame for her hurt, it's a sad part of life. People die! It's over and we move on. We also live, laugh and hurt all without god. If god had of been a factor in this little girls life then wouldn't he be to blame for all her pain and suffering as well? The fact is that if we except hod as being her healer then. He is also the cause of her sorrow. What justification could you put forward to her pain, and what about the people that don't make it? Are there lives any less important then hers?

I know I can theologisize(yes I just made that up) it away with the "we don't know Gods reasons, because he has one for everything bull shit" but I just don't buy that. More or less like I don't buy into the faith argument.

Faith healing?

Nope, it was a medical miracle!

Any thoughts on the faith battle would be appreciated.
