You can't base your life on "what if". The prayer didn't work. Even when I was Christian, none of my prayers were answered.
The "prayer" did not work because you nor the OP understand the basic premise of biblically based prayer. Prayer is not some sort of formal christian wishing ceremony where you exchange obedience for granted wishes. Biblical prayer is a form of communication/worship that helps change the prayer giver's life will and outlook to match that of God. Not the otherway around. "Thy will be done," Not
My Will be done.
Quote:Providing possible reasons for why god didn't answer a prayer should never be evidence for god. I find it shocking that, for many people, it is.
I find it shocking that you would misrepresent my argument to this degree, just to make an opportunity for yourself to insert a blantent straw man argument.
