Evidence for Believing

[Anomalocaris]

People obeying the scripture and praying for the sick, and no discernible results distinct from not praying are incompatible too.

Yes, as I said earlier, I think that prayers for what we personally want -- fulfilled or not -- tell us nothing at all about what a God would do. Christians who expect their desires to be fulfilled are at the Santa Claus level of theology.

Forget theology.   Theology is about exalting the purposed deceptions concocted to exert control by a few who could not argue their case for their own control truthfully.  


Let's look at maturity in the context of beings who are part of society and part of reality, and must contend with the reality to improve anything at all.   Christians who would rather not be mindful of the nonexistence of god, but would instead  be told what such a nonexistent god would do,  is at what level of maturity?
