Wouldn't that make you feel better that someone who cant really do nothing about it is actually taking some time out to say a prayer for your wellbeing.

Now whether you're cured of cancer or not, thats my issue with God (if i want to question it that is), so at the end of teh day the result is pretty irrelevant to you. If you are cured I won't be saying to you its because God did it, but I would be thankful to God for curing you. The relatioonship between me and God is not relevant to you.

I think that makes sense, can you see what Im trying to say?
I think what he's trying to say is he wouldn't want his life saved by a god he doesn't have much time for.
