How do you know God isn't dead?

[A_Nony_Mouse]

Historically it is difficult to find a plague in Christian Europe without mention of the accompanying prayers. It is equally difficult to find a report of prayer shortening the duration of the plague. Were you offering the observant a gimme? In fact there are many similar records of pagan prayers for plagues to the same null effect.

How can this be?

And you know the plague was not ended sooner, how, you're sure the plague just ran it's coarse.

By using epidemiology applied to pre and post Christian times and discovering the duration is as expected of course. Same results regardless as the god(s) getting the attention.

Because plagues happened in times and places where nobody believed in your god. Who answered their prayers?

Like I've said before, pray is not essential for God's grace.

It is essential there be a difference of results between gods before one can claim it makes a difference which god.

How can this be?

Neither you or I can answer for God's action or inaction of plagues. You can not have a result positive or negative without knowledge of what the end result would have been without God.

ZERO difference regardless of the god. Therefore to claim there is any god or God action is pure invention without foundation in fact. Or you can so that no god, not even yours, does anything. Or you can say that all the gods, including yours, do the same thing.
