Ebola Doctors

Currently in our world there is much stress over this disease “Ebola” which is a type of hemorrhagic fever. Its cause of death is multiple types of organ dysfunction, but if survived it is a quick recovery. Ebola is a contagious disease which makes it easier to obtain, unlike cancer, or a genetic disease, it is a sickness. The only way for you to get Ebola is from contact with somebody’s bodily fluids who has this disease. That being said, most people wouldn’t want to go to Liberia or West Africa, which is where this disease originated from, to help these people who have this disease. Most Americans are comfortable with their life and would not want to sacrifice, or even risk it to help others, and the fact that some people do sickens them. A few Christian doctors are over in these infected areas and it really bothers people for one reason, their faith. The fact that they talk about Jesus while they do what He asks of them is just absurd to these people for some reason. Author of “In Medicine We Trust” Brian Palmer explains his view on these doctors, being an atheist he obviously does not believe in God, so his writing of this article is completely unbiased. He says in the article that if these doctors were non-believers of Jesus Christ, he would not have any critiques or complaints about what they are doing, but since they are believers he admits that he finds faults in the work that they are doing. And why is that? Why are people getting so offended about these Christian people sharing about God, God is the reason that they are even helping these people! So why is it not okay for them to explain why they are making such a sacrifice and risking their lives? I think I know the answer to why people have such a problem with this. It is because they are uncomfortable, and scared, they are scared that these Christians might be right, but do not want to admit it because they do not want to change their ways of sin. That is just one way of looking at it. Overall I think these people have no room to criticize these Christian doctors, I don’t see them trying to help, at least these Christians are making an effort to do the right thing.
