Prayer?

[Reforged]

There is no need to look any further into anything because all necessities have been met (and almost miraculously human beings are no longer curious and we have abandoned our habitual tinkering for tinkering's sake). So? No, seriously..... so fucking what? Here you are insinuating that this is somehow a bad thing -and yet you would like to casually insert your imaginary friend as the sole provider of such a service nevertheless.

Thank you for agreeing. RD was arguing that people would continue to innovate in the face of all their necessities being provided for. I was not the first to insinuate that as a bad thing, but it seems he did, else he wouldn't have opposed my theory of all of us quitting work.

"There is no need to look any further into anything because all necessities have been met"
I don't disagree with this. There wouldn't be any need, there would be the desire. Alot of people find discovery and the acquisition of knowledge to be a pleasurable thing.
"Undecieved" is obviously not one of these people.

yet you would like to casually insert your imaginary friend as the sole provider of such a service nevertheless.

This discussion is about God and why He might not provide for our every need. If you had read all the comments you would have known we were talking about what a benevolent God would or would not do. This is not a proof. It is an attempt to show that, if there was a God, He has reasons for "keeping us in suffering," as vague as that phrase is. Rhythm, do you consider the Christian God wrong to allow a dystopian world? Or will you plead the fifth and refuse to even engage the topic on an assumption that all gods are "imaginary friends"?

And you would make an assumption that your particular religions interpretation of creation is the correct one. You can't have it both ways.
We are allowing you the luxury to assume God exists without proof in this thread, that is as far as the luxury extends.
If you do not appreciate this then we will gladly revoke it and commence discussing your total lack of proof for anything you are claiming.
Is that what you want or do you want to continue trying to justify prayer as was intended by this thread?
