Who's afraid of Ebola?

I imagine some of the people freaking out about Ebola consider themselves Christians. How ironic is that?

One of the reasons Christianity experienced exponential growth in its early years was that Christians became known for taking care of the sick and the dying during plagues. They, themselves, were not afraid to die, because they had a hope beyond this life.

Christians pretty much created the hospital. Think about that word, from which we get the word "hospitality." Hospitals were simply houses where hospitality was offered to the sick and dying.
