Saying "either you believe or you don't. If you go to a doctor, you're interfering with the plan your supposed god had for you." reveals ignorance of the complexity and details of many philosophies. Worse, it shows a stubborn, willful ignorance of a simple fact: that spiritual beliefs are broad, diverse, and not easily boxed in by your simplistic generalizations. Generalizations are not designed to reveal the truth, they are designed to obscure it.
Pretending that such simplifications are true may help you maintain your criticisms, and insisting that people who disagree with you are just blowing smoke up their asses may stroke your ego, but all that your harsh words and attitudes really proves is that it's more important for you to flash your snark than it is to get the answers right.
And by the way - your failure to answer my question, prove your point, and tell me what I believe is noted. You won't answer because you can't answer.
Hell, you can't even support your original point, which was "All medical intervention is against god's will."
You don't know what you're talking about.
