God gave you 2 eyes and a brain. It's your choice to use them to their full capacity or not.
Breh, it's just as Allah SWT says:

صُمٌّ بُكْمٌ عُمْيٌ فَهُمْ لاَ يَعْقِلُونَ

"deaf, dumb and blind. So they do not understand" [al-baqarah, 2:171]

1. No if you're studying the effects on prayer, the best thing to do would be to have people pray for them, (hopefully to God and not some idol) and then proceed as normal.

2. No I will not concede that. For instance, I would say the world ignores the plight of Africans. Now of course there are those that do care for Africans and their well being but Im sure you would agree that there plight is largely ignored. :ehh:


....what are you talkin about!? I can't even ... What do Africans have to do with anything?
:patrice:

This is what they did or are you suggesting a study to me?

I'm explaining this is what they did in some of those studies.

:what:

Try to keep up breh.

You said that theologists are full of confirmation bias when thats true of every walk of life. Or is what I said false? Some atheists do not look to confirm their already held beliefs?


:camby:
Yeah you don't get it, and you're immune to reason so... Have a good day.

Of course we need proof... you're gullible of you accept any extraordinary claim without proof.

And what's the proof here? The trees? The clouds?

If I told you I was a billionaire, and used my nice car as proof, would that actually convince you that I had at least a billion dollars in my bank account? If it does, I have a bridge in New York I wanna sell you.
Fam, what PROOF are you LOOKING for? Or do you want a God to talk to you face to face? If he did, would you still DENY? What exactly do you NEED to confirm gods existence? I'm just asking

HOLLYWOOD WOULD APPRECIATE AN HONEST ANSWER, DUDE!

haha I am though...no bs. most of my family does the same.

i have spelled it out before, but i mostly try to avoid doing so now for spiritual/religious beliefs; while english isnt necessarily sanctified technically...recently, i have been giving english more respect as sacred because my hebrew isnt as sharp as it used to be, so it has become more spiritually significant for me to do so because if/when i read scripture, i often use english translations in the text (either entirely or in combination), when in the past, i really did not (not nearly as much anyway).

I'M AWARE OF THAT, BROTHER! IT'S JUST AMUSING TO THE HULKSTER THAT YOU'RE CONCERNED A MESOPOTAMIAN DEITY WOULD BE UPSET ABOUT A PROTO-GERMANIC SPELLING OF A NAME HE NEVER USED FOR HIMSELF, DUDE!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God_(word)

dat dude got upset over a lot of things. :youngsabo:
he'd probably get more upset at me for alluding to marcellus wiley in this context :whoa:

the origins and evolving linguistics in relation to this isnt all that concerning to me to be honest. that proto-germanic spelling/word is how I am currently labeling the deity, and i believe that it is a sign of (albeit perhaps small) reverence to 'censor' it. i was raised that way and have found more spiritual reason to resume doing it as my beliefs have matured and changed a bit...in a manner that provides me with more justification to do so.

i dont think that He would condemn me or someone else, all that much if i or they didnt do so, but i also am starting to believe more that He may judge one based on their consistency in following what they truly believe in (with exception to certain things obviously (for instance a serial killer and devout believer in murder probably wouldnt be rewarded by Him for being consistent)).

Confirmation bias- the tendency of people to favor information that confirms their beliefs or hypotheses

:mjlol: Yea you can pretend that the only people that this applies to is "theologists" but then again, thats why I posted that pot/kettle picture. Anyways thanks for your kind words I hope you had a good one as well :salute:

Come breh, keep up. My point was that even though Africans are getting help, we can still conclude that they are largely being ignored. Just as, science has delved in spiritual matters, but again, it is largely ignored. Which is probably why you believe its hogwash lol


I'm explaining this is what they did in some of those studies.

I might regret asking, but do you have a link to the study or studies that this happened?

Maybe you follow "kings" or something but I live in the 21st century so:camby:

You dont pay taxes? :mjpls:

You follow the kings of the earth breh. Just as I do. They have laid out the life they want you and I to live and for the most part we live it. Without questioning their authority.
But regardless, God sounds kind of weak if some "kings" or "evil" people got him scared to show up. :russ:

:mjlol: Im glad I didnt say or imply what you just typed
