In response to a member asking from other members if they are being unfaithful to God by taking medicine, you wrote,[...this joke...]
I am unsure as to what you are wanting to mean in your response to the member's question as to what you posted and if you could post answers here to the following, then I could have the opportunity to respond accordingly.
A. What are the criteria that you used to designate the story that you posted about the man in the flood to be a joke?
B. Do you know which God the man was saying would save him?
C. Could that God be the God that the Jews give service and worship to?
D. What is your overiding intent here to posting what you say is a joke?
E. other questions not stated
