It is precisely you kind of zealots that cause people to shy away from religion. Telling people they need to repent or go to hell doesn't encourage someone to find God. And your statement that cancer patients are responsible for getting cancer is just ignorant. To tell someone that you are responsible for getting breast cancer is well... idiotic, stupid, and unimaginabley moronic. Breast cancer, among others, is often inherited. Do you know what that means? It means that it is genetic, written into their DNA. So if God did create the world, he created DNA, so he literally created cancer. This is simple logic that you religious nuts can't seem to follow. And how do you explain other genetic disorders that cause unimaginable pain. These diseases aren't the fault of those who suffer from them. I think that maybe the best way to bring attention to Jody and her cause is to not blame cancer patients for their own cancer and make stupid statements such as those you made, but to recognize the blessing that this whale's appearance could be for raising money to help those who are suffering.
