If there is a God, then he's probably looking after the entire universe, so he doesn't even know Earth or our solar system exist because we're so small.

if you were religious, you wouldn't think this, lol.

God doesn't care because God isn't there.

Apparently, God knows everything, so I don't know why they need to pray. :3

There is no need to pray. There is also no need to believe in God. I know he exists, but that's it. He's probably just sitting in a chair, reading a good book. I think He has forgotten about the humanity thousands of years ago.

about 2 thousand years ago

More specifically 2008 years ago and maybe even before that.

i'm sure he might have cared a bit when his 'son' was borneded

Although God "Knows everything" the reason people need to pray is because God wants to know if people would consult him for just a problem or even a talk.

I realize that this world has gone bad, but I dont think God wants to help because the problem will probably be restored later. He hasnt forgot about humanity, He's still looking out for us. But he can alter luck. People think that they just can believe in God and everything will go there way.

God made life, and God knows that life wasnt gonna be fair. Though he can make life better, he cant make it perfect. I've heard many stories about how God helped people's lives from praying. Theres always some sign that leads you the way. It can be something your friend says, something you read in the scriptures, or events in life. I've heard that if you have a rough decision to make, God will contact you with feelings. If you have kinda of a burning feeling in your chest, it shouldn hurt, lol, then thats the right decision, if you go for the other decision, he'll try to make you kind of forget what you were doing.

We are here for judgement, to see how we act. Imagine if someone like Sadame was in Heaven? He doesn't want the wrong people in Heaven. He helps the right people on the way.

Technically is knows everything anyway, so VOID POINT.

Pray only works sometimes? How about, sometimes things go well for you and sometimes they don't?

You can't say "Well he didn't want to help me" when your prayer isn't answered, and equally, you shouldn't blame god when your prayer is "answered".

Why not.

Otherwise known as luck. People tend to blame every single good thing on God, and then brush off the things that go badly as not his fault.

We are here for judgement, to see how we act. Imagine if someone like Sadame was in Heaven? He doesn't want the wrong people in Heaven. He helps the right people on the way.

If he created Sadam, then he knew how he was going to act. So its basically like God is dealing out worse hands to certain people, and then punishing them for it.

It's weird: God used to be used to explain things people couldn't. But now he is used to explain things that we have figured out.

Wouldnt we be spoiled if life was perfect? No challenges, just ease, no competition, everyone would be perfect.
I know everything isnt done by god, there is luck. But the, "WTF" luck that actually made a difference in your life is god.

God made everyone equal. Sadame's acts were his, and the really bad ones was Satan guiding him.

This response was based on belief. There's no real reason to prove it.

Yes, sometimes when you prayer is "answered" its not god, but the vital things are.

I once won a jar of jelly-beans at my school for guessing the correct amount out of about 1000 people. Are you saying that that was God? I carefully counted how many were in the top few layers, and then did an estimation. It happened to be right, but that was just luck. I wouldn't give that one to God, partly because if anything it was me, and partly because that would demean my achievement.

God made everyone equal. Sadame's acts were his, and the really bad ones was Satan guiding him.

What if he had an abused childhood? What if his parents beat him, or were murdered, or whatever? Is it really his fault if he grows up to be "bad"? And "Satan guiding him"? Are you actually serious?

So you don't believe God is omnipotent?

Yes, sometimes when you prayer is "answered" its not god, but the vital things are.

WHY are the vital things done by God? Because your parents say so?

Dude ...

stfu, its what I believe in. If "his parents were murdered" its just bad luck. Not everything is done by God, and not everything is guided by Satan. I'm no expert.

And was winnin a jar of jelly beans important to your life? Did it make a difference?

As I said before the world doesnt revolve around God, why, I dont know and i dont give a shit. and yes I'm serious. You cant make me not believe something.

God is omnipotent. Satan doesnt go straight for someone, he finds someone who has already been tormented, to make them worse. If his parents were murdered, it probably wasnt the doing of God or Satan, some things just happen.

I think people are missing the point here that the bible is backroom politics, made up to explain the unexplainable and as a focus for faith not truth

The bible wasn't made up.
It's basically a non-fiction story about the life of Jesus, the other prophets, and important events.

I'm not arguing anymore, I'm done. You people think God is nothing. I'll believe what I believe.
