What if they are atheists and they are praying to themselves. Does that mean everyone who does that is god?
lame
@1 Technically no. The definition of a God is more than being prayed to. Technically, supernaturality is required.
However, a great book is called “American Gods” by Neil Gaiman. It’s a fiction book, and a very fun read. It’s by no means an informative book, it just explores the concept of all of the things that we idolize, like celebrities and TV, being actual gods.
And it pits our gods against the gods of yore, like Odin.
@ irspariah:
If you’re Buddhist, yes.
That wasn’t funny. THAT. SUCKED. I SMITE YOU FOR POSTING THAT! :x
It seems that, along with your belief, you jettisoned good taste. You not only made fun of Christians, you made fun of a terrible disease. Furthermore, you continue to expect God to do things he never promised to do. I’m not sure what you expected to accomplish with this little skit. Pain and suffering are a part of life…seldom is it funny.
so God can only do the things he promised to do when exercising his mercy?
@dwhitsett
“you continue to expect God to do things he never promised to do. ”
So, this means that praying is completely useless, am I right? So those priests and shepherds are big liars. Oh my God, religion is lying! hehe Funny.
It’s hard to be religious and not to fall in contradiction.
@ Maj: or a Gnostic
“you continue to expect God to do things he never promised to do.”
What exactly did God leave out when he promised, in Mark 11:24, that whatever we prayed for would be ours? If God doesn’t answer impossible prayers than he how is he distinguishable from a nonexistent God?
