Thanks for listing more. I think it'd be better to summarise it all by thanking science.

I'm glad the cardiologist has developed a way to manage the suffering we all go through in this hard life, but his delusions about some deity reading a piece of paper he stuck in the wall had nothing to do with your father's recovery.

The amount of religion-hate and mocking that goes on HN is baffling.

Where's your scientific evidence it didn't help? You've run experiments and collected data?

This kind of base anti-theism is counterproductive and ultimately meaningless.

The burden of proof is on the person asserting that this magic happened.

On the contrary, it's counterproductive to be such a horrible human being that you disregard the efforts of the people who saved the life of your father. My calling that out and trying to shame that horrible behaviour is very meaningful. If I'm successful, the world will be improved.

Regardless of where the burden of proof lies, telling someone who nearly lost a parent this year that they are a horrible human being for expressing their gratitude in a way you disapprove of isn't going to convince anyone of anything. And I don't think that you will make the world any better by being mean to other people.

True. My bad.
