Quote:Stop listening to the so-called religious idiots and go talk to someone who actually know their shit.There are those who think they've got it all figured out, read the Bible and apply it to what they see, which is very backwards. It's not sad, though, it's to be expected. That's how humans are, they find something and they say "This! Look at this! This right here, this is the answer/great/correct."
The term 'God's plan' is a bit misleading. When I think of 'God's plan' I think of the world around me, the life I'm leading and that others are leading. Not that He chose their path for them, only they can do that, but that He built the path on which they are walking. Sort of like an architect who builds a house and then leaves it be. He doesn't go into the house and deman you walk around it in a certain way.
Funny how you describe "God's plan" completely different than anyone else I've ever talked to. How am I to know that what you say is true? Other people I've talked to are certain their belief is true. Why should I believe you?
BTW, your version actually makes sense if you believe in a deity that does not get involved with people's lives.
Quote:Because this...isn't how...miracles...work? Yeah, pretty much. You answered your own damn question.
Why not? There are a number of places in the Bible where it explicitly states that you can have anything you want if you pray for it, as long as you believe.
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?
