Today I feel the Lord answered my prayers

[MikelArteta]

Oh yeah, where would this thread have gone without my "derail"?

Would've been a bunch of fukks saying God is good

If God is Good, how about he help some starving kids over this guy getting a job? That's all I'm saying here and I'm the bad guy?

It's not my fault God doesn't exist which is why we're faced with these quandaries.

This thread makes no sense being in HL @BarNone lets move this shyt to the locker room or the garbage can :blakeface:

breh just run along you have more posts in this thread than the op


keep living your demonic life:cherry:

But someone else who is a Muslim might say the same thing happened to them. Someone else who is a Hindu might say the same thing happened to them. Someone who still worships Apollo might say the same thing happened to them. An atheists might say they thought positive thoughts and the same thing happened to them.

Is that "Satan" deceiving them like he did when Moses threw down his rod? Are billions of them all misguided but you have correct answer?

While christians over here are asking god for a bigger house and a new car, new clothes, etc., there are children the world over, dying of thirst. If god is giving you a new job, clearing traffic, etc., why can't he make it rain (a natural process) enough to fill up wells or ponds where people are dying? Why can't he drop food from the sky like he did in the bible?

I'm not saying there is no god, but the religious gods, when you look at the grand scale of life have too many holes.

Stop trying to circumvent the argument because you can't argue the logic.

Think about what you are saying as a theist. You are actively worshiping a God that feels that you getting employed for currency, a human concept that has only existed on this planet for at the most a few thousands of years in human existence, takes priority of assisting dying babies.

Think about that for one second. How is that NOT an insult to your God?

Nope not saying any of that. I'm just saying that I feel the Lord answered my prayers today and thought I'd share it

Who are you to question Gods plan? What have you done to save those children? Who do you think has done more the Lord and Christians or you?

what if it was god's plan for you to get out of traffic only to crash and die a horrible burning death? would u still be so devout seeing as that was his plan?

Yup, also, I'm pretty sure Jesus actively sought against prayers for financial gain.

Mark 10:21-22 Jesus, looking at him, loved him and said, "You lack one thing; go, sell what you own, and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.

Just out there throwing christ in the bushes.

By the grase of God not only did he answer my prayers but he gave me an option to pick wich job I want to be employed by. I started today with nothing on my plate and ended it with two plates to pick from. I know we have a lot of people that make fun of Christianity on this forum but I wanted to share an instance when I felt the Lord was working for me and answered a prayer.

Just wanted to share. all comments welcome.

Congratulations on finding work breh..


@the rest of your post tho...tell me what about the other applicants who didnt get the position..does god hate them?

Its quite possible some needed the work more than you did ...some may have prayed harder than you did......so clearly God disappointed alot of people just to make you happy....you see how ridiculous that sounds?

what was actually said/not said can be debated by what what was changed or mistranslated by the Roman church.

Telling people to accept being poor because you'l have riches when you die is a way to passify the poor and to prevent them from rising up against the rich fat cats in power(ie the Roman authorities) Same thing can be said during slavery.

Black slaves could be kept passive by telling them to accept their condition, obey your authorities, and when they die they will have riches on the other side.

Just thinking about the line, "Give unto Caesar what is his", sounds like something added by the powers that be to make sure christians wouldnt rebel against the roman govt. Jesus said this...so you miust do it.

I''ve read up alot on this as I've come to distance myself from what I once believed and you will find some interesting things. The emperors or rulers who made christianity the official Roman religion weren't themselves believers. They were still worshipping other gods or just being vile individuals....but they saw the $$$$ and power in making christianity the offical religion of Rome.

That's a fair point actually but these people, regardless of what they say, believe in the Roman religion they think is pure. Only exception I can think of is Funkdock, and he looks to be going a more Deistic route lately.

To be honest, sitting back watching this objectively you and TUH were more of the problem. I had, and have no intention of doing anything with this thread, but that's just an observation as someone with no skin in the game. Every thread doesn't have to be turned into a philosophical debate. There's enough of them. If the guy wants to count his blessings, let him. The problem that you guys have is that you feel that you need to constantly rail on this subject relentlessly, for no reason. This guy isn't hurting anybody. You guys are coming across as the atheist equivalent to this guy who used to be in our Diag during college telling us we were all going to hell: [ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWggGLzqUK0[/ame]

Maybe @Brown_Pride will feel differently. Blake, breh to breh, TBM to TBM, did you really need to fight this one...

I think the problem in this thread is your navy blue font :blakeface:

Me and TUH weren't the only posters pointing out things that don't make sense. I didn't know making valid points and challenging other peoples solidified beliefs wasn't acceptable here in HIGHER fukkING LEARNING.

I thought we could have an ounce of dignity and remove a thread that has no possible chance for any learning to occur. Like I said, this should be in the locker room. This guy posted it here knowing full and well how posters like me and TUH would respond, otherwise he would've just posted it in TLR

With all due respect, this subforum is meant to discuss topics like this. This isn't the Locker Room.

Some people, including some theists, might find it offensive or downright illogical to believe that a supreme being might answer the prayers of a person living in one of the most advanced countries on this planet to find a job, while seemingly neglecting children dying and suffering. When you bring that in here, you should have your position challenged.

If we are going to keep that from being challenged for the sake of being nice, then there is absolutely no point to this subforum.

what if it was god's plan for you to get out of traffic only to crash and die a horrible burning death? would u still be so devout seeing as that was his plan?

In 09 I was drinking real heavy. One day I was coming home from a party drunk driving on a motorcycle. I ended up crashing and breaking my neck. I broke my C2 and fractured my C3 vertebrae . It took almost a year to recover. Throughout I didn't lose faith. So the answer is yes I would still have my faith. And since I died in your hypothetical I would have the answer to my faith first hand.

It's moreso miseducation.

Many people are comfy in believing what they believe or they dont have time or resources to look up truth.

For example, Hell was a pagan myth/creation adopted by the early Roman Catholic church. The word Catholic means universal....and they wanted to create a religion to include christians and pagans. More $$$/power in numbers.

But "hell" is never mentioned in the original hrbrew text nor anything like it. It was mistranslated.

This explains it all
15. The Pagan Doctrine of Hell

Clear and to the point. From a christian site no less

Obviously if the church told everyone this, many people would quit going to church, quit giving money, and most importantly, stop being scared/fearful etc.
