Well that's christians for you, the indwelling of the holy spirit making them, well just like everyone else really, but with nutjob style beliefs. It of course could be also that the god they were asking simply did not exist.
Quote:"Then Jonah prayed to the LORD his God from the belly of the fish, saying, “I called out to the LORD, out of my distress, and He answered me; out of the belly of Sheol I cried, and You heard my voice." (Jonah 2:1-2)
And here we go again, a guy living inside a fish for a few days ? You really take any of this seriously ?
Quote:"But I say to you that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment." (Matthew 12:36)
Actually i doubt it very much, why do you believe the bible, was it not simply written by men who later then claimed the inspiration of a god ?
if you do actually believed it was inspired by a god, what reason(s) do you have to say so? Stop being so gullible for goodness sake.
Yes i know you are going to hide behind the 'we are blind' or 'blinded by god' or 'god is hiding the truth from us' but we can get claims like that from every religion and nutjob creed we don't ascribe to, frankly the thought of a supreme being of the whole universe who 'hides' because we are who the sum total of how he made is ridiculous beyond words.
