Sinnlosigkeit aushalten!

In the presence people tend to ask for the spiritual or psychological meaning of illness. This is due to the fact that they aim to control their body and their finitude. In Christianity we have a tradition that seeks in a similar way for a religious purpose of suffering. But there is also a tradition (i.e. Hiob) that refuses to make sense out of dangerous illness. Faith is understood then as a power that dispenses from a religious use of pain and disease.
