Why is God needed to cure alcoholism amongst other things?
Dont get me wrong they do good work but why is God needed to cure alcholics and drug addicts. Why is it God that has to help them? Why dont they get praise for being strong enough to beat it themselves? After all thats who really helped them.. They prey on people when they are at their lowest ebb and then they are"converted". Why cant they still do the Good work without preeching? Make the people love themselves and make them strong on their own without saying Jesus/God has deteated this with you.He has been by your side. He has carried you through the troubled times in your life…The person themself has overcome the problems in their life and managed to survive. Give them the credit they deserve and dont convert.. What do you think?
The exercises practised in Buddhism in order to conquer thoughts and actions are equally viable. This involves the destruction of the ego and a respect for all of creation. This can all be done without the necessity of a god. In other words, the individual takes full responsibility for the management of his thought and actions.
