    This shows your understanding of "the flu" to be truly lacking. Indeed, to rely on a single phrase as some sort of serious understanding is most false.

    We call it "the flu," but while we fail to distinguish between the evolving viruses that caused the disease(s), they are different. They have "evolved."

    Second, cancer is not of the same caliber as "the flu," it is a "malfunctioning," a change, in the workings of cells, either from simple aging or from toxins, or from many other factors, or all combined. "The flu," on the other hand, are diseases caused directly by the interference of the viruses.

    And there are of course diseases caused by bacteria, which also are fundamentally different.

    And you are aware that aids is caused by viruses, right?

    Oh dear.

    You are aware these are languages right? How about metaphors, as in figures of speech?

    Something like: God is grave; He falls into a pandemonium of rage, a fire of anger, which is expressed in cheesy metaphors?

    Do you actually fall down the ground from actually falling in love?

    No wait, don't answer that.
