Also your statments of religins are an over generlization. If the studies that you are kind of referncing treated them in the same manner I am dubious of their findings.
I don't feel like prayers are fulfilled they have been fulfilled specifically. There are christians who keep prayer books in order to track their full fillment.
Also all those who say they are a theist don't all believe in God. I would say in america a lot of people give a mental nod to God but have never accpeted Him as their Lord and savior.
i am not mad or angry that you don't believe my testemony because it isn't my job to get you to believe. I am not here to promote myself I am just a person. My job is to testify about the truth and pray for you. I do both. God love you and everyone on this forum and everyone on the planet so much that He gave His only begotten Son. He lived a sinless life and died a humlitating and paiful death in order to free you Mr. Redbeard from your sin. If you repent He will give you everlasting life and free you from the bonds of sin. That is the truth no matter how you feel about it.
Nope. Sorry. You've clearly just been indoctrinated into believing and repeating the same garbage, no matter what anyone says to you or shows you. If only your mind hadn't been forced shut and locked tight at such a young age, you might be able to see and experience reality as it truly is. The only thing that can save you from your ignorance is to open your mind and accept reality as your personal lord and savior, so you can begin a personal relationship with reality and start mending your poor, tortured, broken mind. You need reality to save you from your ignorance, and that's the truth no matter how you feel about it.
Also, you're talking to an apostate preacher's kid. Your christian mind tricks won't work on me. Anything you could possibly tell me about the Gospel is something I've already told at least 100 other people myself. Simply repeating your Chick-Tract spiel is useless and just makes it more clear that you've been indoctrinated into repeating scripted drivel instead of critically thinking and formulating answers. I'm not mad or angry that you won't accept reality. I'm just here to testify about the truth.
My mother's stepfather was a preacher. He was an angry man. (not saying that your father is) She felt like Christianity was bondage too. After she got out of her mother's house she didn't regularly attend church until I was in junior High. She now has a real relationship with God and does not feel bound like she did when she was under that man's rule. My pastor also was a preacher's kid. In college he would talk people out of their faith in Christ. Then He met Jesus while he was in college and has lead our church for more than 20 years. It is not religion that keeps me in this faith it is a relationship with God. Through Jesus sacrifice on the cross for my sins and the grace of the Holy Spirit that keeps me in this relationship.
