OMG Trippin'!!!! I was raised Pentecostal ... a really strict type of Christian ... let me tell you, some Christians understand that yes God is a good God and he does miracles, but that some things are to be treated for what they truly are .... then you have the idiotic fanatics that think that if they just pray and have faith everything will go in their favor.

Not to say there's anything wrong with prayer and faith. But ask your brother if he works to make money to pay for bills and get groceries? Ask him if he goes to the store and buy food every week? Then tell him that his logic should be based on those every day things too ... next time he asks for something to eat or drink, place an empty plate or glass in front of him and tell him to have faith and pray for it.

He wont like it, and will probably get very angry ... but I can almost BET he'll ease off on telling you to just pray the Bipolar away.

I get sooooooo angry and frustrated with people like that ... sorry. My mom is one of them. She urges me to stop taking my meds and seeing my Drs and just give God a chance. If that was the case, I think there would be no need for a hospital. Just have my holy mother go and pray over every patient and watch the miracles occur! smdh

I'm sorry if I ranted and if I was out of line by posting this and being so abrupt about it, but I know your frustration and deal with that same BS everyday with my family.
