No need to turn it into geriatric food! Just cut the biscuits in half burger style so they can absorb more of the gravy.

Why does the church cover up the sexual abuse of children?
Why does the church promote genocide against minorities?
Why do religious people overwhelmingly support cops killing innocent people, and allowing mentally unstable people to buy guns, while also voting to defund mental health initiatives?
Seems to me there's lots of reasons to be distrustful, weary, and generally uncomfortable with believers.

God didn't save Damar Hamlin's life, people did.
That's an important distinction to make.

What do you have to gain by negating all the years of hard work that the tens or hundreds of people put into making sure someone like Damar would live?
Attributing this result to anything other than hard work, good planning, passionate people, and science is disingenuous and a straight up lie. It's comments like that that encourage anti-science sentiment. "Oh it couldn't have been hard work and science, because God does everything".
Religion is the reason vaccines aren't trusted, and that polio is making a come back.
So what do I gain? Maybe I don't get polio, or another preventable infectious disease that we had the opportunity to eradicate. Using preventable diseases is an easy target, but the same argument can be applied to anything that religions are pushing.
Ultimately, religious people (specifically Christians) need to realize that it is our society and the people that make it up that makes "miracles" happen and not literal magic. I think understanding that there is someone out there who dedicated their life to understanding something well enough to help another human being to survive a nearly fatal freak accident is a good way to gain some appreciation for the people around us, and quit hating immigrants or LGBTQ people.
