FOND DU LAC, Wis. - Jeanna Giese, like many other
teenagers entering college, admits to being nervous
about classes and meeting new friends.

But Giese isn’t your average freshman. She is a medical
marvel who has been studied and chronicled for nearly
three years as a one-of-a-kind case: She survived
rabies without vaccination.

Her father, John Giese, said he was grateful to the
doctors and their novel treatment, but added that
prayer had made the crucial difference.

"The day after we found out, I called on everyone we
knew for prayer," he told The Milwaukee Journal
Sentinel this week. "We believe a lot of that
snowballed and it really made a difference."

Can you explain color to someone who has been blind since birth? Or a
song to someone who is has never heard?
Well sort of, but they wont truly understand or appreciate it.

Nor can you explain spiritual reliance upon God (via prayer) to
someone who has never relied upon God? He is not a comic wishing
machine. There are some pre-conditions all of which hinge upon
belief.

God does answer every prayer in the way that is best for the
requester. This may not be what he/she thinks is best, but those that
believe also believe God knows what truly is best.

Ah, lambchop, but I *used* to "rely upon" God. And my prayers were
"answered" with exactly the same percentage of "yes" answers that I
would have gotten had I not prayed at all, or had I prayed to some
other god.

No, dearie. He's a fictional character. That's what you guys never
seem to get.
> There are some pre-conditions all of which hinge upon

Ah, I love this dodge. As usual, you put the blame *on the human*
instead of where it belongs - on the god-myth and its lack of evidence
of existence.

Yet another psychopath using a nasty and derogatory analogy.

In other words you already have to be a brainwashed believer to
believe.

Either prove its existence outside your deluded fantasies or shut the
fuck up, in-your-face question-begging moron.

Ah, you should take your own advice. I suggest you shut up because you are
embarrassing yourself to no end.

God did not bring on the hurricane. Sin brought on the hurricane. Without sin,
we would still be living in the garden.
