See it’s a lie

If you have an opinion about prayer, that’s valid. It’s a lie to YOU. It doesn’t make it a lie to everyone else in the world. [b] 1.God didn’t kill those children, a deranged and evil man did[/b]. And despite the hating minister commenting above that they personally hate people and Christ hates people… only evil people do such evil things and God doesn’t hate anyone.

[b]2. Prayer is not an online order like an Amazon order[/b]. You don’t add prayers to your cart and receive them within a set day or time. It’s not wishes or wants that God fills for you on demand,  nor is prayer a goodie list like children leave for Santa and hope to find everything they asked for under the tree on Christmas morning.

1. Right -- God only does the good stuff.  /S

2. Correct - sometimes your prayers are answered and sometimes they're not.  Either way God decided whether or not you should get what you asked for  /S[/quote]

DP.  I don’t understand the personification of God here.  What does it even mean to say that God “waited outside” or the He “decided” xyz.  Those are things that people do.  They aren’t things that God does.  [/quote]

You mean people can do things God can't?[/quote]

God doesn’t get a gun and kill people. Another thread jacked by people who claim not to believe in God, yet spend time debating God. [/quote]

Maybe you misunderstand the meaning of the word “debate”.  This is not an echo chamber.

I know it is hard to believe in things without evidence, and frustrating when that is pointed out to you.  But when you resort to ad hominem — attaching the person making the point - that clearly indicates you can’t answer the point itself.

Maybe you should just not reply to those posts you don’t like?  Just a suggestion.[/quote]

Maybe you could let people practice their own religion, even if you don’t like it?[/quote]

Who am I not letting practice their own religion? Expressing my opinion and beliefs somehow prevents you from exercising your own? No, it does not.

What you want is to be able to preach without being questioned.  That's not what this forum is for.  That's what your church is for.[/quote]

I am not a preacher or pastor or minister and am not preaching to anyone. This is a religious forum and this is exactly where people come to discuss religion.

This forum is exactly for discussion of religion. [/quote]

You are wrong about one thing: It is not a "religious" forum, it is a "religion" forum, and that is why it is titled as such. So then why do you prefer religion not be objectively discussed? Are you saying that to discuss religion requires belief in one? [/quote]

DP. What you’ve done is mostly drive off people who don’t have the patience to explain—for the umpteenth time—things like free will, original sin, and the problem of evil on a thread that’s about prayer. You’ve hijacked a thread on prayer and made it hard to follow for anybody like me who was considering jumping in now.

It would be great to return this thread to the subject of prayer. [/quote]
