This is an example of your dishonesty. Here's what I said, and I quote:

In English, words have meanings. I never said, "I'm going to kill myself.", nor did I say, "I'm going to commit suicide."

Pay close attention, so that you don't misunderstand...

The question is intended to make you realize that you have no skin in the game. It asks, if anyone listens to you, and God doesn't behave like a dime-store candy machine by spitting out an instant healing (as you insist that He will), will you be there to pick up the broken pieces? If they off themselves, can you look into the eyes of that person's kids and say, "Yes, little Johnny, I told your dad to quit taking his meds and get the Holy Ghost."???

Of course you couldn't.

You'd run from them like a little girl. And if cornered, you'd blame their mom or dad's lack of devotion. You'd argue like some cowardly televangelist, who isn't worth the money spent on his suit, that if their mom or dad "only had faith" they wouldn't be dead and would have been healed. You wouldn't own up to an ounce of your responsibility in such a circumstance. Your advice could be very dangerous if heeded and God doesn't come running to heal on command like the cosmic Satan Claus you insist that He is.

Those of us who have prayed for healing, and it has so far been delayed, we know your type all too well.
