Without religion, is a prayer just a wish?
This came up on another thread so I'm wondering how others view this. If you don't have a "belief system" based on religion in place, what can you pray to? As I understand it, prayer has always been a religious practice so if you don't subscribe to any religious deities what can you pray to? Would you agree a wish is just…

In your words
Friends, My Love, Dennis, enjoyed and found much inspiration in your words. He left this world yesterday, but not before touching many hearts. Thank you for all the thoughts, concern and prayers. Continue your inspirational journeys. With a saddened heart, Lucy

Asking for prayers, encouragement and good wishes
My love, Dennis, is not doing well. The Docs say it is either the taxol or the cancer mets to his liver. Up to this point he had been blessed with no pain. But that has begun. They have stopped the carbo/taxol and will begin topotecan on Monday, as they say it is safe to administer even when the liver is acting up. I ask…

A fair explanation
I like this quote. It works for me... That, upon the whole, we may conclude that the Christian religion not only was at first attended with miracles, but even at this day cannot be believed by any reasonable person without one. Mere reason is insufficient to convince us of its veracity: And whoever is moved by Faith to…

Healings
Has anyone ever experienced what they think was a true healing? Many people who have, I have read and have personally experienced, feel a certain warmth or heat accompanied by a profound change in their emotional or physical wellness. Just wondering if anyone has had this happen to them or knows of anyone who has had it…

Let me rephrase this, Why are there so many posts that have nothing to do with cancer?
Ok, since I have been flagged and kicked off this site (prevented from loging in) because another member didn't like the question I asked, I will try to ask again and clearly follow the "T&C guidelines. I have cancer, and I thought this site is supposed to be for cancer survivors to come and share their experiences with…

spam filter problems
All, As you know, we've had increased problems with spamming on the boards lately. In an attempt to minimize spam, a spam filter was installed this morning. The filter has been marking some posts as spam which are not spam and blocking the authors (i.e. members) from posting on the boards. Please excuse this inconvenience…

Why are people compelled to write about their religious beliefs in the specific cancer forums?
This has been an issue for the 5+ years I have been a member of this site. It's been going on long before that and I am not the only person who finds this to be an issue worth discussing. While there are not very many people who speak out publicly (I have colon cancer and usually post there - or here) when I do make a…

I as a christian am totally insulted and have been in a test war on facebook all morning. What are your…

why are people so touchy about God
Hello everyone my name is Bobby and I am 38 years old. I was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer in March and have been fighting it since. I have had colon surgery to remove a foot and a golf ball sized tumor. I then had 5 rounds of chemo to shrink my tumors and by the grace of God they shrunk 40% oh sorry they were two…
