Belief and parents
My parents believe that God heals their friends because of prayer. My son died even though they and others prayed for him. They believe that my son is now a saint. I asked them why God decided their friends are better than my son and get to stay on earth. They say that they do not know the mind of God. My son died after multiple heart surgeries, their friends had cancer. I feel that their reasoning is flawed, and their answer is them using blind faith. How do I make them change their views

It’s very difficult to change the belief systems , because it’s followed by a community as a whole . The more u confront u more stronger the beliefs grow . They have to learn by their own life experiments . What we can do is to limit their involvement into the prayers and spiritual related work . We can engage them in their activities so that they don’t spend too much of time in spiritual activities.
