Faith is a measure of irrationality

[Jacob(smooth)]

It's more fundamental than even that. If God decided to work just through humans, fair enough. What grinds my gears is when it's assumed that God will intervene directly in SOME prayers, the ones which we make for Love or a new ipad, but not others. He'll bring us good things, but not them.

It's the Inconsistency.

You're not factoring in the people that don't want His help!

You have to step back and "try" to understand. But you also need some real desire to actually know, and understand.

So your position is that those 26,000 people who starve to death each day do so because they don't want his help? Is that really what you're saying? That these guys WOULD have their prayers answered but they don't because they don't want Gods help?

Yeah, you can see the indifference written all over their faces.

So, why would God want to answer them if they don't care? Where is His desire to proof something here?

Interesting choice of words. Suggests that They did ask... but that they didn't care. And an even more interesting question. Why would God answer them if they didn't love him.

Let me ask you a question Ron. Lets say there is this kid, starving to death. Distended belly, desparate eyes, etc. He asks you, actually begs you, for food, which you can give him with no effort, and which will save his life.

Why should you help him? To prove something? Because he loves you? Or other
