Quote:You addressed the fig tree as a joke, and dodge the rest of them.I thought the fig tree example was a joke or at the very least a red herring (An attempt to side line the fact that you made a thread about God failing to answer your prayer, and then I point out that your efforts were not technically praying.) The rest of your examples were indeed red herrings as they speak to your version of popular morality, and have no bearing on the fact that You failed to showed a good example of prayer. To answer those examples was to follow a red herring/Logical fallacy of topic.
Quote:Practically everyone here is laughing at you and your arguments.![]()
Oh, no-es... what will I do?!
Quote:Your prayer and petition argument is ridiculous.why?
Quote:I actually I understand the difference between the two, and had put them both into practice.Which I addressed in that I suggested that your current state of Atheism was the result of an answered Prayer!
If you Prayed for a better understanding of the God of the Bible or a closer relationship with Him, and you had a broken or corrupt vision or understanding of Him, then the first thing He would do per the parable of the wise and foolish builders is to "send the rain," so you may know if your 'house/Faith' was built on a solid foundation. Meaning actually built on a biblically based image of Christ, rather than a pop Christian version. God's silence in the mist of heavy trials or even in general shows us that our understanding of God does not exist.
Why would God support a broken or misguided understanding of himself to you by confirming what you think about Him by answering your prayers or petitions? Especially when silence will destroy that broken picture and place a genuine seeker of truth on the right track to seeking and finding the God of the bible? If God were to answer your petitions with your current 'limited/broken' POV this would embed your broken view perminately.
It's only the proud who says to himself that my first effort would have produced God if He exists, and if 'my' effort failed it must mean their is no God rather than 'I' Am critically wrong in my understanding/approach of God..
Quote:The only thing that came about from them, was many wasted years in a one-way relationship with an imaginary friend.Actually two things came about.. You now know your version of God does not exist, on top of wasting your time.
Quote:I'm not wasting any more time writing paragraphs to add to the endless untrue things in the bible, starting with adam and eve and ending with fantastical stories, with dragons emerging from the sea. If you are incapable of seeing how farcical the bible is, there is no intelligent conversation to be had.Says the one who is moving to dismiss based on a bigoted sterotype before he/she has enough information to draw an intelligent conclusion.
