Just Thoughts.. Help me reason

[Burner]

What if the person mentions to you that they have been praying about it and they had faith to be healed? do you just trash their faith and yet wewe mwenyewe you have just witnessed what they call a miracle?

I would still say we cant explain what happened.

I would still say we cant explain what happened.

That is what a miracle is buddy....an extraordinary and welcome event that is not explicable by natural or scientific laws and is therefore attributed to a divine agency.

Using your definition of a miracle, it would seem that those events are in fact not extraordinary since faith healing and those "miracles" are quite common place. It would follow that there is something else happening but certainly not supernatural.

so you believe we are hear by good luck and not by design? How do you explain the spirit that is within you?

I don't believe in whatever luck. To me there are no blessings or curses! I don't know anything about a spirit within me.

 

[Kamau wa Kíríro]

I don't know anything about a spirit within me.

what if a whole school cannot find an explanation, what if a whole generation still cannot find an explanation?

We don't know everything. Our societies used to explain unidentified diseases as "acts of the witches". Think about this, a lot of people in my region (Kiambu) have diabetes. That disease is largely hereditary. We have learnt to manage it in the last 50 yrs. What used to happen before that?

They did not eat healthy sir. Their lives were brutal and short. My ancestors didn't burry the dead, they used to take them to hyenas dens. If you were too I'll no one would touch you. They would abandon a homestead if they thought you had a contagious disease. Read about rinderpest that decimated the Masai. Read about the black plague.
