Malaria or TB or AIDs are God's punishment for the sins of man. Nothing happenes without the consent of God. For he is all knowing and all powerful. To find a cure against God is to say that God is wrong.

"To find a cure against God"
Is he implying that god is a disease? I can agree with that.
"to find a cure against God is to say that God is wrong"
First, your god IS wrong. Second, this is implying that not only is god a disease, but it IS possible to find a cure against him. I can fully agree with all of this. The christian god is a disease, and we need to find the cure against him. Let's get started.
"To find a cure against God is to say that God is wrong."
...or that you are wrong, and God (assuming such an entity even exists) simply allowed these ailments to happen to keep the growing human population in check, since there are no animals on Earth that are naturally predisposed to eat us.
I, for one, see the curing of tuberculosis or HIV (or aging, for that matter) as a mark of passage into maturity for our human race. You, on the other hand, imagine a cosmic father-figure who wants us to remain 17 years old forever, knowing we have it within ourselves to live our own lives, yet never becoming truly independent of him, never escaping the "my house, my rules" paradigm reserved for youngsters. Once the 22nd century rolls around and aging has become entirely optional, I will be eating, drinking, and making merry with the life I'll have before death while those like you who foolishly hoped for a good life after death have gone the way of the dodo.
Amazing how we've cured so many diseases like polio, then, and made treatments for numerous others.
Quite the omnipotent being, there, that can't stop medicine.
"Malaria or TB or AIDs are God's punishment for the sins of man."
Your god's aim sucks . Why is it always the ones who don't have access to modern medical treatment, or modern science in general, that bear the brunt of your god's wrath against sin?
"Nothing happenes without the consent of God."
Ah, so your god is a colossal asshole then. I see. Here I was thinking he was benevolent and loving since that's what all you Christians like to tell everyone.
"For he is all knowing and all powerful."
Various passages in your Wholly Babble directly contradict that notion. And yes, I'm aware that there are other passages that agree with you. Surprise! Your Babble contradicts itself. What a shocker.
"To find a cure against God is to say that God is wrong."
Or non-existent, which is far more likely given that your god is supposedly omnimax according to you guys.
So, God is a vindictive cunt.
Sounds about right, given his supporters.
Well then I suppose you'll be ditching your glasses, and your insulin or cholesterol medicine, and you won't be taking antibiotics if you get pneumonia or staph. No more aspirin for your headache or your heart, and you can't even spray the mold in your bathroom with bleach. Sux to be you!
Seriously, put the Chaos Codex down.............
Nurgle is not a real god.............
Burn the Chaos Codex because it goes against your Bible.....
#853557: No! Don't you know that all the cures we currently have were given to us by god? (not by those pesky scientists that always claim the credit) [/sarcasm]
Their god seems to be suffering from multiple personalities. On the one hand he's all "I'll kill you all! I'll kill you all!", the next minute he's "I love you all. Here's some medicine to fix the plagues I just infected you with.".
I addressed this absurdity in CARM.
jma037 refused to respond when I pointed out that malaria and TB are both cureable, And AIDS is treatable... With both a cure just around the corner, and evidence of human genetics finding its own way to deal with HIV.
To find a cure against God is to say that God is wrong.
I'm hoping for a cure for diabetes. If Jehovah doesn't like that he can go F*** Himself. Just out of curiosity, I'd love to find out exactly what sin diabetes is meant to punish.

Hmm. Could it be gluttony, perhaps? I know that obesity carries with it a high risk of diabetes.
"Nothing happenes without the consent of God."
So if a cure is found, how can it go against god if "nothing happens" without his consent?
What about homosexuality?
To find a cure against God is to say that God is wrong.
Which is why Syphilis, the Bubonic Plague and Smallpox still ravage the populace. Or did God change his mind on those ones?
To find a cure against God is to say that God is wrong.
A cure against god?
Did someone already mention iron chariots? ;)
God is wrong?
Well, 4 legged insects, pi= 3, the numerous occasion in the bible where god contradicts himself, 2 different stories of genesis, both with a sequence of creations that contradict each other and so on
Im immunised against TB...
So one little needle > God?
I mean really, God gave you brains, use them.
Malaria & Tuberculosis are easily treatable. And the previously deadly Smallpox exists in only a few culture flasks in labs in certain parts of the world (with debate continuing to this day about whether or not these should be destroyed, thus making Smallpox extinct). I'd say medical science has God beat.
"To find a cure against God is to say that God is wrong."
Virologists in certain parts of the world are close to coming up with a cure for AIDS too. Once that happens, science will have beaten God at his own game.
"Nothing happenes without the consent of God. For he is all knowing and all powerful."
O RLY? In that case, ambulances and transports taking medical help & vaccines to the Third World are the modern day iron chariots (those involved with the Smallpox eradication programme from 1950 to 1980 certainly were!). You're just in denial that science, and the quest for knowledge is edging religious belief further & further to the edge of irrelevancy by reason, logic, and scientific fact. And what you fundies say demonstrates that because of you & your beliefs, you're hanging by your fingernails to the edge of the abyss. Just as ancient beliefs went down that abyss, yours will be going down there. And soon.
tl;dr: God is the disease. Science is the cure.
And I bet you would never even take an aspirin because headaches are God's will uh?
PS: read your bible, moron. Sickness is sent to righteous ones as well as to the unrighteous. Job amiridonite?
Malaria, AIDS and TB kill millions of completely innocent and harmless children every year.
If your god exists then he's a sick fuck and I would gladly piss in his face.
[Nothing happenes without the consent of God.]
So God approved of me banging my Adventist ex girlfriend, and her cousin, and her other cousins girlfriend on the sly at the same time? All without marraige? God rocks!!!!
"Nothing happenes without the consent of God."
So innocent children will not get molested, raped, tortured and murdered unless Jesus gives the thumbs up?
Personally I find it easier to say he doesnt exist.
The miracle of the all loving and knowing god. he dreams up horrible diseases that cause dreadful pain and suffering that destroy people and families indiscriminately of whether they are believers or non-believers!
Fuckwit fundies say it is a test if you're a believer and a punishment if you're a non believer.
The logical conclusion is that an all knowing God is a bit of an inconsistent fuckwit that likes cryptic messages. Either that or he doesn't exist and it is the-luck-of-the-draw!
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
