Sadly, it's been deleted now, but someone suggested that our genetic illness might be caused by demons of illness and perhaps prayer is the answer for a cure.

To which I replied that I had a genetic disease, not a moral stain.

To which others replied that there was nothing accusatory about his comments (infested by demons? pray for deliverance? WHAT?).

i took offense, too, and thought that the post had moral stain implied all over it. pray for deliverance from Celiac? anyway, i tried to reply to your comment, and the post went poof!

Yup. I went to the guy's journal, seems he is a celiac and that he's also really religious. I'm not sure if I feel better it wasn't a troll.

I like his friend who said "no one's saying it's a moral stain!"

I knew someone thirty years ago(he was my landlord at one point)who believed that God had healed him of his epilepsy, and was saddened by the provinces lack of faith in not giving him an unconditional diver's licence.
They literally believe if you were born without eyes, God will grow you some.

Perhaps he should have prayed for God to give him a driver's license, too.

No, you see, the demons are not per se punishing you for anything. However, shame on you for obstinately refusing to pray for deliverance. And if you do pray and nothing happens, shame on you for having insufficient faith.

see, that's what i get for being a heathen.

Then you should pray harder to your heathen Gods!
The important thing is to believe absurdities have Faith!

You can still be a Person OF Faith, provided that you suck at math, think that the world was better off when everyone spoke English, and reading makes your head hurt!
