Not what I said. Typical Esq...trying not to understand because if he he did he might have to repent.
Um, I'm sorry you don't comprehend what you wrote, but when you claim that prayer can only happen within the scope of what is physically possible, and in which the outcome cannot be concretely predicted, then what you are describing is something identical to the effects of chance, which is characterized by being limited in exactly the same ways. You might feel like it's somehow special, you always assume that what you believe has some ephemeral leg up on readily demonstrable things which you never bother to justify yourself, but the actual content of what you wrote is such that, if one were to remove all references to miracles from it, you would essentially be describing a run of the mill dice roll.
But hey, this must all be my fault somehow, because I secretly believe in your god, right? You keep that up, you'll be reported; the majority of what you've posted in response to me lately has been little more than one sentence misrepresentations of my position, used as an excuse to dismiss me out of hand. I'm happy to tell you to fuck right off there, but it is also against the rules, you know, and as a mod I'm bound to report it if I perceive a pattern. Maybe try responding to what I actually say, instead of dodging like that in future, hmm?
