Yeah, next time he encounters leprosy in a house he should do this:

Leviticus 14:49-53

King James Version (KJV)

49 And he shall take to cleanse the house two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:

50 And he shall kill the one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water:

51 And he shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the slain bird, and in the running water, and sprinkle the house seven times:

52 And he shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, and with the living bird, and with the cedar wood, and with the hyssop, and with the scarlet:

53 But he shall let go the living bird out of the city into the open fields, and make an atonement for the house: and it shall be clean.

I don't acutally believe in suecide, now when somone mentioned that. In my experience, fear of death can trigger death. First fear for dying, no matter whether it is being overwheeled by a truck or through cancer. Something cause a wicked feeling - fear for death - And this fear causes you to die. Simply, when you are overwheeled of a truck, you die instantaneously from the fear that the pain and situation cause you. Same goes with cancer. The cancer causes such great pain, that you start feel fear of death, and this fear causes you to die. As for suecide, in my expeirence you change your mind, but the snare, or pills causes the same kind of fear, that kills you..

So what you're saying is... if I never actually fear death, I can be immortal?

I WILL LIVE FOREVER

When you bring yourself to ask insightful :thumbsup: questions, we can have insightful :thumbsup: discussions


Leviticus 14 - Commandment on how to treat leprosy.


24 And the priest shall take the lamb of the trespass offering, and the log of oil, and the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before the Lord:
25 And he shall kill the lamb of the trespass offering, and the priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering, and put it upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot:
26 And the priest shall pour of the oil into the palm of his own left hand:
27 And the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger some of the oil that is in his left hand seven times before the Lord:


Would you recommend someone with leprosy (Hansen's disease) follow these instructions found in Liviticus to treat it, or would you refer them to the appropriate physician?

How much better your time would be spent Lifting people UP :thumbsup:

95% of the human population is not susceptible to infection with M. leprae, the bacteria that causes Hansen's disease (leprosy).

Obviously this means 95% of all humans have
their Immune system strong, enough to not be susceptible.

Given by God that, plus
given that we know :) how to keep the Immune system strong, the cure is also obvious.
Well at least it's obvious :thumbsup: to such of us who do in fact LIFT others UP and
as we were all created by God empower :thumbsup: ... people to heal :clap: :clap:

More ad hominems. No sources for the 95% figure, and M. leprae is notoriously particular about its growth conditions so I would suspect something related to its environmental constraints before descending into immunological pseudoscience.

nonsensical ad hominem
Sir, do you ever Think about, or Review your past responses?
Every last one is just that: ad hominem. is that your reason for being here?
To put others down? Does that makes you somehow important?
How many hours, or even minutes :) each day do you spend lifting others UP? to Constructively :thumbsup: encourage :clap: someone?
Think about it.
It makes life worth living, for it will bring not only another real :clap:Joy also you :wave:

What would give me joy would be seeing people actually talking about science on the science forum, and you answering the questions put to you.

So we're agreed: your own use of ad hominems is deplorable.

Of course, all of the rest of us are literate and can see that the thread is actually "How we die", not "how to die", and is about how science cut the percentage of deaths due to readily preventable causes like infectious diseases.

Go back and read the OP. The thread is about the ways in which humans perish, not euthanasia. If you're going to criticise something, you might want to stop and work out just what it is you're criticising...
