You can't support an argument with a centuries old book that doesn't mention vaccines and was before the age of medicine.

Do you take salt on yours?

And why not? The Bible's been around for so many years for a reason. Before the age of medicine was Jesus Christ who performed healing miracles (Matthew 8:5-13) (Luke 7:1-10). The Bible is a timeless legacy of bodily truth that any doctor can and should turn to. You on the other have a few decades (fewer?) left on this Earth so flat while the Bible will echo for the eons to come.

Thank you for giving up and letting me win this argument.

Mr. Much may be a hellbound fellow, he did ask you a valid question however. He does know his Bible, and no doubt was refering to Ezekiel 43:24: And thou shalt offer them before the LORD, and the priests shall cast salt upon them, and they shall offer them up for a burnt offering unto the LORD.


The verse preceding refers to the bull, the bollock not unlike the kind that makes up your arguments, dear. Do you cast salt upon it?


It seems he's burned you in this matter, and is asking if you salt your wounds. Your victory is Pyrrhic and shared alone by your lonesome.

No... When he said salt he was indirectly calling me a sore loser... Salty can mean upset or just being a baby.

I was asking how you take your damned popcorn, because I'm settling in as this will apparently take a while.


Protip: read stuff that is there, and ignore the stuff that isn't. It'll help with your Bible reading, too.

What evidence do you have that vaccines work?

If the Bible was written before the age of medicine, how come it mentions medicine?

2 Chroniclers 16:12-13
12 And Asa in the thirty and ninth year of his reign was diseased in his feet, until his disease was exceeding great: yet in his disease he sought not to the Lord, but to the physicians.
13 And Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the one and fortieth year of his reign.

James 5:14-16
14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:
15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

The Bible is very clear on this subject. Sick people, who seek a doctor, die. Sick people, who are prayed over, are healed.

Sister Basilissa, I have often pondered on these verses, specifically James 5:14. I have taken it to mean that Our Lord will raise the invalid up to Heaven with his or her sins forgiven. This is certainly the position I adopted when explaining why I was praying for my late step-grandmother-in-law during her later, most demented period and I was delighted when Our Lord duly obliged. But perhaps I was wrong about this?

It's been proven vaccinations cause what is the modern day is called autism. The name in an earlier time was "madness." Anyone who wants to become afflicted with madness should go ahead and get vaccinated for everything. Stuff your arm with egg whites, mercury and whatever else in in that stuff.

Of course there was medicine before the age of medicine. The "age" of medicine refers to a golden time of it where there was huge breakthroughs in it. Before the age, (1930s to 1950s) medicare really just sucked. But vaccines prevent diseases like polio and measles.

The origin of this "VaCcInEs CaUsE aUtIsM" thing originated from a paper done in the 1990s that "claimed" vaccines cause autism. It made a connection between the Rubella, mumps, and measles vaccines to malabsorption in the gut leading to autism. It was later proven false and a fraud by 25 international research papers involving large population groups. Even 10 of the original 13 authors retracted and refuted their statements on the link. No evidence can or will show this claim between vaccines and autism to be true.
