And science has done a pretty good job of explaining the unexplained. Which just makes your god grow smaller and smaller....
Quote:what about a severed ear?
You have a verified instance where a severed ear grew back after someone prayed? Not quite as dramatic as a missing arm or leg, but let's have it.
Quote: Or an instance where a paralyzed person got up and walked after being prayed for.
Quote:These occourances happened all of the time in scripture.
Which means nothing. Do you have anything VERIFIABLE?
Quote: Or an instance where a person with a missing eye was prayed for and the eye regenerated. Ya got anything like that?
Quote:I don't know if the eye was actually missing but there are a few instances where the blind was made to see again.
Are you talking scripture again? See above comment.
Quote:Do you have proof that "prayer" had nothing to do with the remission?
Do you have proof that your cure wasn't caused by a witch doctor shaking a rattle and sticking pins in a doll?
Quote:Even if that person did not admit for praying for themselves do you honestly think someone somewhere did not pray for them?
Even if you didn't shake a rattle and stick pins in a doll yourself, how do you know some witch doctor wasn't doing this for you somewhere?
Quote:Brother, all cry out when faced with death even if they can not admit it to others.
Cry out for what?
Quote:And you know this is true..... how?
Quote:The bible, Tells me so...
Quote:I have no doubt that any of you have ever known God. The question is, do you want to, and what price are you willing to pay to get to know Him?
What price am I willing to pay so I can "get to know" a fictional being? Let me think about this..... ummmm... nothing.
Quote:I have one more question.... You obviously think "God" cured your disease. Why did he cure you and ignore all those children down at the cancer ward of the local hospital? What makes you so special?
Quote:I Don't know,
Yeah, me either.
Quote:but I'll be damned if I don't spend my life or rather the extention of life I have been given, in His service trying to pay back what He has seen fit to give to me.
Since you obviously believe that this deity cures people, do you pray for all the blind people of the world to have their sight restored? Do you pray for all the paralyzed people of the world to have their mobility restored? How about praying for all those kids with cancer?
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
