... and I, in turn, know that you cannot understand my point of view, because your belief in your superstition has blinded you and robbed you of your capacity to reason, to the point that you don't even see the inherent selfishness of telling someone "I'm not going to do anything for you but mutter some words to my imaginary friend, so I can say I've done something generous."
Color me unimpressed. Your little godling is claimed to be omnipotent; he should already know of their plight, and should already be on the job. Why does he need your urgings to get to work? Masturbatory prayer.
I tried to tell you that you wouldn't understand and I was correct. I don't always tell people I'm praying for them most never know that I pray for them. I don't think of my self as generous, it's God who is generous, I'm a servant of God and work for His glory not mine.
I see perfectly it's you that's been blinded by the same thing that blinded Adam and Eve, self purpose.
I have no doubt you're unimpressed, it's because you do not know or understand the relationship between God and His children. By the way God was already finished with His work in that situation before it even happened. Not only is He omnipotent He is omnipresent meaning He was in the situation before it even happened.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
