Why would you ignore the rest of the passage even after I posted it?[/quote]
Because the rest of the section supports my point, not yours.
Give it up. This praying shit is a jerkoff exercise for the ignorant.

Then it should be very easy for you to go line by line and address your proclaimed victory. Yet you pause and posture hoping that I will some how forget the truth that I have already pointed out. If you still think differently then Stop talking about it and show me.

[quote]Now let's think for a moment that the guy has the wrong address and spends literally his whole life knocking on the door, never realizing that the house is abandoned.[/quote]Read the story in Luke 11. The door he knocks on is a neighbor. He has a dialog with Him. He knocks because he knows there is someone home.
[quote]Yeah! Just like the guys who invented Zeus, it was the best they could come up with! or...they saw how sucussful older religions had been at controlling people and decided to try it out for themselves. Here's a thought: if this is the One True Faith™, then why isn't it the first?[/quote]It was with Adam in the Garden.
[quote] You would think that god would have chosne to reveal himself before paganism got popular. After all, worshiping him, rather than some pagan god, is one of the ten commandments (the first, in fact!). You would think it would have been a higher priority for him.[/quote]Why are their other gods? Because like you not all men want to worship The God. They want to have a say in what is right and how they worship. With The God of the bible it is not possiable. So they create their own gods.
