Right. I think this is what bothers me about this list. It's material driven. There's a saying that goes (paraphrasing) "don't wish for better circumstances, wish to be a better person."

For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Mark 8:36 KJV.

Jonathan, you and your family must look to the Lord Jesus Christ. He is your judge. Through Him all things are possible.

Yep, lets just jump on the god-phone and call god to get him to help him out in this instance. Just like he helps starving or diseased people throughout the world every day. Or my uncle, who died of cancer recently.

The list seems material because he is worried about his family. They need to eat and they need a roof over their head. We are all a bit material. I notice you are using hacker news which suggests you must have some kind of an income and access to technology. He is dying. He is worried. Would you not feel the same?

How about, instead of quoting bible bullshit to help you not so silently judge a man with cancer, you shut the heck up and donate a tiny bit to the man so he can live the rest of his days with that much less worry?

Jonathan : Find solace where you can. My heart goes out to you.

Give me a break. Think about what you are saying and how and to who you are saying it.

[futurist]

I did. How about you do the same?

I can't say where I stand spiritually but everyone who suggests I should simply rely on God obviously believes that they are not responsible for any of their own actions. And if you truly believe that is materially driven then you haven't bothered reading and understanding what is written.

Don't try to talk to me about God until you've taken the time to actually read and understand who it is you're talking to and what it is you're saying.
