[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What kind of god chooses to intervene based on whether or not people pray? That sounds like a manipulative, rather narcissistic god. Why would any god need to be convinced to step in?

Prayer helps the person praying, as a kind of meditation. But it doesn't do anything or change any outcome.

Christians believe prayer is relationship with God, not a vending machine for wishes.[/quote]

Correct, God isn’t a genie.   It’s an incredibly shallow perspective on God at least from a Christian perspective and shows you don’t understand what prayer actually is.

Moreover, when you pray to God just to “get stuff” you are using God, not loving God.  [/quote]

So when you pray for a sick person, you should not expect her to get better, right?[/quote]

Well, she might get better, then again she might not. The Lord works in mysterious ways. So mysterious that it seems like happenstance and may be. [/quote]
