EXCLUSIVE: South Carolina parents living in the state’s measles epicenter tell Rhian Lubin of their devastation after their unvaccinated 7-year-old son, Ethan, developed encephalitis, a complication from the virus that causes swelling and inflammation in the brain
That reminds me of the South Park episode Cartmanland. Cartman (an absolutely awful person) gets his own amusement park, while Kyle (whom Cartman’s always ripping on) develops an infected hemorrhoid and is put in the hospital. Kyle starts losing his faith over the unfairness of it all, so his parents share with him the story of Job. Instead of coming off with a renewed faith, Kyle takes the story to mean there is no god and loses the will to live.
Until Cartman ends up losing everything, that is. Only then does Kyle see a bit of justice in the world and ends up making a recovery.
“I have a hemorrhoid. It’s like an infected blood vessel on your ass. I’m nine years old, and I have a hemorrhoid, Stan. I have a hemorrhoid, and, Cartman has his own theme park.”
If god’s doing anything, then he’s punishing you.
Ever read the Book of Job?
This is how they’re taught to see this shit.
Reading that book as a teen was one of the early cracks forming around the evangelical bullshit I was raised on.
The events of that book, and the motivations behind those events, are utterly fucking reprehensible.

One of my favorite episodes:
When you look at what the bible says outside of the rhetoric of faith it all turns to insane nonsense.
Perfect example. This is not an inaccurate description of the events told on the bible.
he did offer them a solution, its the doctors.
