this dude sounds like a christian version of slaimon
even using the same phrases in multiple posts "you should read the bible" and the "sunshine and rainbows" spiel
this dude literally doesn't have the brainpower to manufacture different ways of conveying thoughts
Your insulting me for not speaking the way you think I should speak but I'm the ignorant one?

Study of the Therapeutic Effects of Intercessory ... [Am Heart J. 2006] - PubMed - NCBI
In the 2 groups uncertain about receiving intercessory prayer, complications occurred in 52% (315/604) of patients who received intercessory prayer versus 51% (304/597) of those who did not (relative risk 1.02, 95% CI 0.92-1.15). Complications occurred in 59% (352/601) of patients certain of receiving intercessory prayer compared with the 52% (315/604) of those uncertain of receiving intercessory prayer (relative risk 1.14, 95% CI 1.02-1.28). Major events and 30-day mortality were similar across the 3 groups.
CONCLUSIONS:
Intercessory prayer itself had no effect on complication-free recovery from CABG, but certainty of receiving intercessory prayer was associated with a higher incidence of complications.
some things are beyond any amount of prayer or positive thinking.
Look around today. Do you really feel the Lord didn't answer their prayers?

You don't have to turn your back on God, but that is precisely what you are doing if you are saying with 100% assurance that he answers a prayer to get you a job while neglecting dying children. How is that a positive trait for a being that is supposed to be the final say on the concept of good and evil?
While on he subject, logic(which is the brain doing it's job) has to ask, "Where was God(any of them) when thouands of Japanese ppl are killed in a tsunami, or thousands of multipel faith ppl are killed in the Twin Towers, or 6 freakin MILLION Jews were tortured and murdered in the Holocaust, or for hundreds of years while the black race was largely wiped out due to slavery.
People just ignore these things in a sense b/c time wipes away the severity.
If one of these gods was real, wouldnt he make himself known during 9/11 and be like, "Yo, uh, you might wanna come over here if you want some help....somethings going down but we gon be alright over here" LOL
What's more important, getting one person to a job interview on time, or saving 6 million jews(his chosen people) from mass destruction.
I had to come to these realizations as fact. The reality is, we're our own god in sense. We humans can make this world hell or we can make it heaven.

No, I don't.
That's a silly thing to say when thousands upon thousands of children were burned alive or gassed.
Ill take time out and look at the whole thing tomorrow and comment in this thread

Imagine how many generations of black slaves went by hoping and praying their HORRIBLE life would change.
Great-great-great grand parents, to great-great grand parents, to great grandparents, to grandparents on down the line to innocent children.
Where was the Lord then? Hundreds of years, hundreds of thousands of slaves died.
Sure eventually they were free'd....but still to this day black folks suffer from the effects of slavery. So it's not even a case of "the ends justifies the means"
I'm not mocking the religion b/c I was in it for a long time and I believed and obeyed it.
But you have to be logical. Your brain has that ability for a reason .

No its not a silly thing to say. Evil is of this world and has power in this would. If you think believing in God means the belief of only good you are mistaken

If you saw the fly bicch im currently fukkin, its proof that sometimes he answers your desires without prayer... good pu$sy = GOD!
Yeah, because it makes no sense whatsoever that some should be saved while other innocents starve and die. It throws a wrench in the entire view of God's supposed mercy and kindness.
Congratulations on your good luck, though.
