  • Yes, but Jobs had a very rare type of cancer, neuroendocrine. One that was, apparently, much easier to treat because it grows very slowly. He was diagnosed, could have gotten a surgery and dealt with what the doctors called a “shadow” on his pancreas. He decided, instead, that he would opt for more holistic treatments. 9 months later, he opts for modern treatments. At this point it was too late.

    Pancreatic cancer survival rate is so low because it’s usually caught when things are too late, as there are usually no symptoms when it’s treatable. Job’s not only had the easier version of pancreatic cancer to deal with, he also caught it at the literal perfect time. The only reason he died was because he decided that he knew better.


  • They aren’t talking about you the user, they’re talking about the ones making the cigarettes.

    Also, I’m pretty sure suicide is a grievous sin in Catholicism no? Is the difference here that it takes a really long time? Or maybe it doesn’t count as suicide because without that cursed knowledge of cigarettes being bad for you, you’d never know you were killing yourself?

    I’m just wondering where we draw the line here.
