In case you haven’t noticed or are a retard, God doesn’t answer your prayers. That hasn’t stopped a great many religious people from claiming he has or does, though. In fact, they’ll swear on it. They give many reasons why and I’ll go through a bunch of them now. We owe it to ourselves to examine the truth.
God’s answer isn’t always yes.
This one makes me scratch my head. Why do we bother praying, then? I mean, I get it if I pray for a Lamborgini to manifest itself in my front yard, but what if I’m praying that I don’t die from cancer or I’m praying for world peace? Why would the answer be no?
God knows what is best/God’s plan is sometimes
Another one that might apply to a few scenarios but not the majority of them. For instance, what was God’s greater plan for letting millions of Jews, his people, die in gas chambers? Why does God never stop a nonbeliever from dying with a miracle, to which he would surely begin believing in God over?
You must pray without ceasing.
This makes absolutely no sense. Imagine a child asking a parent for something. Then, when the child doesn’t get it, they ask again and again and again and again. They would get slapped. On the grand scale of the universe, imagine why a creator would torture people into begging for their lives, begging not to lose a child to a disease, or any other tragedy? It’s barbaric. Supreme intelligences wouldn’t think like that.
You aren’t praying right.
Oh yeah? Which direction do I aim it at, then? North by Northwest? And how hard could it be? You just ask out loud.
His time, His will.
Another easy cop-out for people who will do anything to avoid admitting to themselves that they’ve never had a prayer answered. Things just ended up happening in coincidence with your prayer, if you got lucky. Just the very notion that an omnipotent being would spend his time tilting the odds in favors of people because they asked nicely is preposterous to any independent thinker.
But again, I would ask – why would God let babies die? Was his will for a family to be torn apart, the mother to commit suicide and the father to become an alcoholic? What is God’s will for not “striking down” (as I hear so often) a molester? I mean, here is a better question – WHY HASN’T ANYONE EVER BEEN STRUCK DOWN DURING RAPE? You’re a dumb fucking idiot if you can look at that sentence and tell me God has a time and a will and neither fit him stopping a woman from being raped. Or a little boy, if he was Catholic and near the weird priests they employ.
Because of sin in our lives.
This makes no sense only because the Bible says if we ever sin after being saved, we go to hell and burn in it forever – no coming back. So what the fuck is the point?
The whole concept of prayer is stupid, based on Bible logic alone – much less realist logic. We are informed in the Bible that God has a plan for each one of us. This is in several books. So if God already has a plan, what will our prayer do? Change the plan? Because if we can’t change God’s plan, how will we be able to get a prayer answered that wasn’t already going to come true anyway?! That either means prayer is pointless because God laid it all out or you think we can change God’s mind on his plan, just by asking, because his “grand” plan that “we can’t understand” was so simple, things can be freely adjusted in it that were otherwise set up just for our displeasure.
So there you go. If you read that and are smart, the whole notion of prayer should be destroyed. Thanks Love ya bye now
