It bothers me how Leibniz says God has a lot to do with evil and sin, because I was raised to think differently. In point 14 he says that "for it is Nature which cures us rather than medicine." I believe differently. My friend is a christian scientist and they don't believe in using medicine and I've had many discussions about her not being able to take medicine. She says doesn't mind it for the little things like colds but she's said with cancer nature won't be able to heal that, you'd need medicine. I enjoyed this reading some of the points made sense to me and I disagreed with some, but no one ever has the same views on everything.
I was raised believing the same thing. Very interesting perspective from your friend on medicine.
