[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]God does not respond to prayers on demand. This is one of the biggest mistakes that all Christians, irregardless of a denomination, make. We should pray to God for wisdom and discernment to understand His message and to become more faithful and more like Christ in our conduct.
God already knows what you need, even before you ask him. He is not looking for prayers on demand, He is looking for a humble heart and discernment of His message. He is looking for disciples. He is looking at your heart to see if you have turned away from your sins, if you have crucified your flesh and denied yourself earthly, fleeting pleasures. Only after you have done all of that can you call upon Him in your hour of need. That's how God works. And He does not respond to every prayer and when you want Him to, He responds in His own time, on His schedule, and according to His will.[/quote]

I am struggling so much with religion right now. I’m not religious and this is exactly why I am not. Religious people pretend to know exactly what god is. It’s not faith if you act like it’s truth. You are just brainwashed. I can’t stand people telling me how to view god. You all have no idea![/quote]

Many religious people need a feeling of certainty to justify their beliefs - and passing them on to others increases the certainty.  Also, some of the original rhetoric may come from people in authority (e.g., ministers theologians), so  ordinary people repeating it feel that the information can be trusted to be accurate.  Meanwhile, everyone is guessing.  No one knows the mind of god, or even if there is a god.[/quote]
