Why Thanking God is Hurtful

RE: Why Thanking God is Hurtful
(December 23, 2014 at 11:39 pm)Godschild Wrote: Christians understand that God's not going to heal everyone and unbelievers don't care about God, so as I see it the writers only feeling sorry for himself, he needs to get over it.
We understand the limitations of doctors and that they may not be able to save everyone that they treat. But theists believe that god is not limited in such ways, and therefore if god does not answer a prayer it is not because he lacked the power, only the desire. To the atheist, the fact that god's record of success doesn't seem any different from chance is a reminder that things seem to work as if there isn't a god.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
