That analogy fails in the sense that a doctor generally posses greater knowledge and skill regarding the practice of medicine than the layman, while the preacher has no more knowledge of an actual god than those they preach to, in this case it’s essentially the blind leading the blind.
It wasn't about the reality of gods. It was about the efficacy of religion.That’s not what it’s about.
A preacher can be an atheist pretending to know about God. Jim Jones is an obvious and perfect example.
It may even be the case that 99% of preachers fall into this category, but it says nothing about the reality of God.
Jan.
Lefties are to blame for fundy illiteracy, got it.Because Lefties can’t handle it.
Lefties are to blame for fundy illiteracy, got it.
How about the fundy dishonesty - same cause?
Hardly. If you have an intelligent response, make it.It was appropriate.
You attempted to make a supposed expertise of clerics equivalent to the expertise of doctors.It may even be the case that 99% of preachers fall into this category, but it says nothing about the reality of God.

Well, that's down to atheists, regardless of political stance.Lefties are to blame for fundy illiteracy, got it.

99% charlatanism in medicine would result in a 1% patient recovery rate.Their expertise is equivalent.
Why would you think otherwise?
Your q appears so plainly asinine. If you expect some sort of response, you would have to explain how they could possibly be similar.Hardly. If you have an intelligent response, make it.
To refresh your memory, the question is: How is your God different from rubbing crystals? Be specific.
Actually a poor fund of knowledge doesn't make anything capable of performance. Therein lies the problem driving the maintenance of your staged comprehension difficulties.A poor fund of knowledge makes a clean, high-octane fuel, compared to a rich fund of superstition, which makes an inefficient polluting fuel.
But, Oh, how I wish I could much less comprehend an analogy!
Nobody else seems to think so. Maybe you just can't tell your asinine from your elbow.Your q appears so plainly asinine.
I know you well enough not to expect an intelligent response from you.If you expect some sort of response...
If you claim there's a difference, the onus is on you to point it out. I have already mentioned the similarities. I pointed out in message #32 that neither God nor crystal-rubbing has any (demonstrable, repeatable, etc.) effects.... you would have to explain how they could possibly be similar.
Then ask them.Nobody else seems to think so.
I'm asking you. Do you have an answer or are you just going to continue spewing empty bluster?Then ask them.
If you can't explain the intelligent basis of your question your interests are best served by asking it to people who are not concerned by such prerequisites (such as pastafarian fart joke cracking atheists, for example).I'm asking you. Do you have an answer or are you just going to continue spewing empty bluster?
I can and I did. Why can't you just answer it instead of trying to be clever?If you can't explain the intelligent basis of your question...
You have not explained how your comparison is straightforward. This is the problem.I can and I did. Why can't you just answer it instead of trying to be clever?
