4. Cancer

5. Malaria

7. Diarrheal Diseases

8. Heart diseases

9. Stroke

10.Guns

People are so paranoid about Ebola but won't think twice about jumping into their automobiles. A car is deadlier by far

Not really, i've been driving for 7 years and no damage. Put ebola in my system, chances of survival is 60-40. I've always recovered from the flu, some people never get a chance to recover from ebola. Me never use to take no medication, just sleep off the flu. Is when me start get bigger me learn flu could kill people lol lol

Listen, all dem things you have listed pale in comparison to the following: The deadliest thing in this world and universe is rejecting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour and ending up in Hellfire.


All dem things you listed one could potentially recover from them but as far as recovery from Hellfire, there is no chance when you end up in it.

That's why now's the opportunity to escape the flames of hellfire by surrendering your life to Jesus Christ.

Hopefully you never encounter a drunk driver going the wrong way on a one way street

It is the severity of getting this illness.

Survival rate or timeline that is consistantly repeatable...

Personal catastrophe

What an absolute load of crock. No wonder you never made it above entry level here at the debunking office.

Would surrendering your life to Jesus protect you from Ebola?

In reply to granite

Since you claim to reject Jesus, what then do you accept?

Yup.


And many people deep down know that but are willing to flirt with hellfire. Really unfortunate...

Using the common sense, wisdom and knowledge that the Lord has given unto man will go some way to assist you in protection from Ebola.


Surrendering your life to Jesus will protect you first and foremost from Hellfire.

How is that ah load of crock? You are far more likely to die of any of those than Ebola

I could care less about severity. The facts are the facts

Is ploughing head on at 70 mph into ah car severe enough?

Philosophy of religion? What's that and what's the purpose of it?


As far as science, isn't science mankinds attempts to explain the things that they see around them. So many things science is unable to explain..........yet that doesn't render these unexplainable things as being non-existent or non-functional.

As jen and Dan have already pointed out, it's not about total numbers of death, it's about the likelihood of dying once you contract it.

A normal healthy person will recover from the common flu with soup and a couple days bed rest. Some of us even push through without bed rest.

Most of us will make thousands of car trips without even getting in a fender bender and the way modern cars are made, even if we got into an accident chances are we just walk away without medical intervention.

Come on man. As a debunker you need to up your game. smile

 
JohnDoe 2014-10-22 09:36:52 

In reply to black

It's also about how easy you can contract the thing.

The great thing about HIV/AIDS is that most people only contract it after having the pleasure of swapping intimate bodily fluids with another person. big grin

With this ebola thing it seems like yuh only have to look at the corner where a fella pass and you will get it from him.

Some of us make it back safe and sound in our cars, some of us don't

Some catch Ebola, most won't

What is your point?

Why doesn't Jesus cure Ebola,in fact why has he allowed such a diabolical 'being' to infect meek people? Aren't they gonna inherit the earth again? Looks like Jesus fed up ah allyuh yes.

 
JohnDoe 2014-10-22 10:20:42 

In reply to black

How many tens of millions of car trips will be made by people around the world today and how many will die???

Compare to percentage of those who will die if they contract ebola.

Dude don't be so obtuse. There is no denying the seriousness of ebola and the absolute need to prevent its spread.
