The Babble also tells you to cut off the hand of a woman who grabs the gonads of someone who is attacking her husband.

Quote:Ah, no. Prayer is not a petition to God to change the universe to fit your personal want or desire.
Really? Then what about all those people who pray for help in a natural disaster? You're admitting that your deity won't assist them? Not to mention that I'm sure I can find testimonials from people who prayed for help and they'll swear "God" sent it.
Quote:Again prayer is to change our will and not God's. your thinking of supplication/petitioning God. which is not a sin, but at the same time is also not praying.
If this is true, then no one should be praying for medical cures or for help in finding a job.
Quote:What makes you think God needs to be merciful and just to be God?
Because that's how the vast majority of believers describe your deity. And you can't be both. "Just" means giving out punishment appropriate to the transgression. "Merciful" means giving out less of a punishment than the transgression deserves. So which is it? Is your deity merciful or just? And if he's merciful, why does he allow children to get cancer? Or cerebral palsy? Or muscular dystrophy? Or be born blind, missing limbs, or with Down's Syndrome?
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?
