Evidence God Exists

Go ahead with the prayer answering, tack.

third attempt at posting this.

1-Alright, an example of me praying for myself that was successful is I was in a financial bind from floating checks and got "behind the ball" with overdraft fees etc. Completely my own doing. I didn't have anything to tithe on Sunday, and felt especially shameful about that. I spoke with my pastor about it and that night I prayed that I fulfill my commitment to the Church and get out of irresponsible financial mess. 3 days later my boss told me to stay late because him and his boss wanted to see me. I had no idea what for. Apparently 6 months earlier, unbeknown to me, my boss had put me in for an award. They presented me with $500. That was exactly enough to catch me up on all the late and overdraft fees with exactly enough left over for 2 weeks worth of tithe next Sunday and a good testimony.

2-An example of me praying for someone else was for my son. He had Mercer in his finer and his fingernail had come off. After taking his to the doctor and getting his medications and something for his pain and dressing his wound we were home for a few days. He only occasionally complained of pain. The Pastor was over for boardgames one night. The pain medication didn't seem to be working tonight and my son said he was in pain. He asked that I come and say prayers with him when I put him to bed. My wife, the pastor, his wife and I all went to pray over him for bed. We prayed that his pain, which he was experiencing prior to prayer, would go away and God would heal his wounds. When the prayer was over he was happy and not in pain (his words) and seemed kind of surprised by it. The next day he didn't want his pain medication and the redness that was there for 2 days prior had returned to normal and normal healing took place to regrow the nail.

Now I'm not sure if God answered the prayer or, Cthulu the 9th dimension overlord, or some telepathic race of aliens. I prayed to God though. When I was not a Christian, praying to Luna or Paimon or whatever else I never got so direct a response with and answer that fit so equally to what's requested. When I didn't believe in the supernatural no amount of coincidence added up so equitably. These are 2 of many and many more people have also had similar testimonies. These were not preplanned and I wouldn't have made the prayers if it wasn't suggested by an outside source. I don't commonly pray for things, mostly my prayers are a thank you or for someone else. I've never not gotten a result. The results aren't always what I expect but they always answer the request in some specific way. I am not aware of a prayer that I've had that hasn't been answered, or have gotten feedback from someone about.

How the hell can you say a god had anything to do with that? There are far more rational explanations. I was violently sick yesterday, now I'm a thousand times better today. I vomited last night, I was in agony. Now I'm not going to jump to conclusions and say some god helped me. My body's defences as well as known techniques that I used that helps fight off illnesses. Thankfully I had what I needed.
Now how comes a god would help you? You've got a roof over your head, food readily available to you, a family and I would bet you would have money in your bank. Yet there are people out there with non of these things, why don't we see god helping them? There are kids starving, dying (often painfully), many out in the cold and have no future. They need help, not you. Your fine, in fact from people who are a thousand times worse off than you, you're a super rich and super lucky guy who's living in the delusion in which he thinks he's poor and in need of divine help. I've been really sick, many times and painfully but I'd still rather god help others who really are worse off than me. I'm only sick, but at least I've got a roof over my head, a family, a full belly of food.

This is why I find stories like yours pathetic. You think your in a bad way? Take a trip to Africa and visit some villages. They are highly religious, always asking for help and never receive any. Yet for some reason, you being in a far better position needs it more. Since according to you, you got it, yet they didn't.
