Whether I have or not isn’t really important. Why should I care what she has to say? Why should I bother reading her books if I haven’t or care what they say if I have?
You are the one positing that her works matter. Me asking a question about why I should care isn’t predicated on whether or not I know anything about the topic or her writing and criticism. If I am intimately familiar with her work, then you should be able to articulate why it should matter to me. Likewise, if I know nothing, you should be able to articulate why her work should matter to me. Nothing changes.
If you cannot articulate to anyone but another person already familiar with her works, of their validity and import then you do not sufficiently understand said works to propose others should heed the words they contain. You would just be someone referencing another’s work in a self important manner as if it brings you validity or standing for your own opinions. Which it does not. Empty reference brings you no backing or validty, you have to assert your reasoning.
Because other them that, I cant See any reason why people who survived cancer should be more religious than ones who didnt.
If anything, they should be less Religious and more sceptical, since their prayers either didn’t help their cancer, or they denied all treatment recognizing that - since their God is all knowing and everything bad that happens to them happens for a reason, therefore - making Human intervention like medicine a sin and detaching from god, died. And the only ones remaining were the ones who recognized that God dosent exist and we already live in the 9th circle of hell.
Cancer treatment is so fucking awful that in the midst of all that suffering, if you read the above statement, you may say that the person who wrote that comment knows noshit about cancer
if you died from cancer, then you’re lucky to no longer read stupid ideological comments written online and you can’t be disturbed by them. But then those who miss you may read that stupid comment 🤷
Religion is cancer
many who survived cancer will disagree with that statement
You do understand figurative speech?
Susan Sontag wrote a whole book about your maladressed figurative speech ☞ Illness as Metaphor
Why should anyone care what she says though?
did you read any of her books?

it is important. If you didn’t read s. sontag, then you’re writing about something you know nothing about.

So you are implying Religion saved them?
