Yes, when all else fails, we pray to God for a miracle cure, and God always hears our prayers and cures us. Mario asks: HE does? Are you suggesting that those who die every day do not pray for a miracle cure?

Mario asks: Why are these people wasting their meager savings on useless placebos when they and their relatives can pray for free? Jane Gillian wrote: A Catholic priest once said to me "God looks after India", otherwise, how can you explain how most of our neighbouring countries are having major problems, while India, with different states, different religions, different languages etc. are still "One India"? Mario responds: The last time I checked, God's job is to look after everyone. I wonder if the same Catholic priest is suggesting that God is punishing Pakistan, Afghanistan and previously Iraq, just to name a few examples. I would like the Catholic priest to explain all the human tragedies in India - or, at least, just the recent ones from from Godhra to Orissa to Karnataka to Mumbai, with the next one just around the corner. Is the Catholic priest suggesting that those who died were being punished by God? Were the abused nuns in Kerala being punished by God?
