The statement was proven to be 'false' we the subject said he prayed to God for a personal healing. Again the issue here is not God as the subject for falsifying, God (for the subject) was falsified in what he identified as the prayer. Therefore the subject matter, (what is being falsified) has turned to the method in which God was falsified. (The prayer.)

So first question, did the subject if fact make a prayer when asking for a healing? Answer? No. We have only one example of a Christian prayer and it does not include a provision or place to asked to be healed. therefore we can not identify what the subject did as a prayer, but a petition. The difference God has promised to always answer prayer in the affirmative, but has not promised to do anything with a petition.

We have been given direction if we seek healing from an affliction, and the subject did not follow the command given by Christ. Rather he sought to skip what the bible says do, in favor of a direct petition as it seems that as a new 'believer' he thought himself in a position to demand such a thing/Offer a trade a miracle for allegiance. This indivisual mistook what God had promised us, doesn't know the difference between a petition and prayer, tried to leverage his faith with a favorable outcome from a petition, and gives up on God because he didn't get his wishes granted.

So just in case your intelligence is getting in the way again..

God was falsified to this person in unanswered prayer.

I proved his statement to be false because his falsification process was mislabeled. He said he prayed when he did not. (even if he thought it was prayer it was only a petition which receive a negitive response almost without fail when one does not approach God on a subject that clear instructions have been given.)

ROFLOL  Way to completely miss the point! Do you really think I give two shiny shits about your distinctions between prayer and petition?

Completely missed the point. He thinks I am a "new believer." And I am now thinking "why on earth was I praying for in the first place?" Sorry, but I am beginning to think that schizophrenia is in fact another name for religion (I present my excuses to those who suffer from this terrible disease.) The way I read it is this, "you should pray to god, but in reality god is not going to fucking help you", since it is false.
