Upbeat Attitude Doesn't Affect Cancer

Posted by Hemos on from the it-still-kills-you dept.

Reality Master 101 writes "Defying years of conventional wisdom, researchers announced that your attitude doesn't influence your outcome, and 'patients shouldn't feel pressured to stay positive'. I particularly liked the phrase, 'the tyranny of positive thinking'."

  1. The only true Hope by young-earth · · Score: 1, Troll

    Is if you know where you're going to spend eternity. There's only one way to do that.

    Religions in this world fall in two categories:

    1) You only get to heaven/paradise by doing enough good works to earn it;

    or

    2) Accept the free gift of salvation from Jesus Christ by admitting you (like every other person here today) are a sinner, and that you need the power of Jesus.

    With that hope, dying isn't as big a deal.

    Note to those who are unaware: category (1) includes Televangelists, Catholicism, Hinduism, Mormonism, and most Protestant denominations. Since they teach "works" salvation, they are not teaching what the Bible teaches.
