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.
Damn it, Robert, you're just asking for Drich to repeat his distinction between prayer and petition. The point he misses is that he, and all believers, have it set up in their minds that anything -- including no answer at all -- is "really" an answer to a petition or prayer. Hence, it's unfalsifiable.
ah, no..
Check a few posts up. I clearly state that ALL PRAYER MUST BE ANSWERED IN THE AFFIRMATIVE, As Per Jesus' Own Promise To Us.
Which then beggs the question what is prayer...
Answer??? You are too dumb to care, because I don't get your arguement based on what you think christians believe..
Tell you what sport when you catch up to where i am at ask me again nice and I will make a another attempt to make a clear distinction between petition and prayer.
