Don't need a Ph.D in psychology to work that out.

True. "God helps those who help themselves" is at least as old as Aesop, but some still get it the other way. But I looked up the phrase in Wikipedia, which says:

It is mistaken by many to be a Bible quote, however the phrase does not occur in the Bible. Some Christians have criticized it as actually against the Bible's basic message of God's grace.

At least they're consistent: actually trying to save the boy would be denying God's grace. It's obviously more important to preserve faith than to save lives.

How about the rescuers? Didn't they exist at all? It sounds like the result of guilt to me. NONE of the church group even attempted to DO anything practical so when someone else DOES do something that WORKS guilt hits hard. Don't need a Ph.D in psychology to work that out.

Perhaps they should throw the boy back and try prayer alone. That would really give some empirical data.

Mike, they live in their own little world of make-believe.

I reported the issue to management.  You can as well.  There is a report issue link at the bottom of the page.

Someone is spamming the group members with a jobs database.  Can't you do something about it?

Just so everyone knows, when a spammer gets past our walls, we ban them as soon as they are reported to us. This is why they don't show up in member searches. They are already gone.

In the future, remember to use the "Report an Issue" link at the bottom of every page.

Thanks.

@Fred: not sure it is a virus.  Maybe the web site it touted was innocuous, but it is odd all the same.
