Request from a Christian.

[Dragonspride1995]

1. You are right there is nothing that forces God to answer our prayers.

Apparently god can ignore us, but if we ignore him , we go to hellish fiery torment for all eternity. Lovely. And I suppose you're going to tell me I deserve hell because some mythical human in a garden being guarded by cherubs (no joke), ate an apple. Off the wrong tree. 

Do you see what I'm getting at here sir or miss?? 

For the record, I read more of the Bible now than I did as a 'believer'. Maybe you might consider covering the book of Bible first. Because I guarantee every transgression I cited above, every discrimination, every malcontent thought--is based upon the contents of the bible. As a matter of fact, you're sinning by fraternizing with us atheists! If you think the old testament laws are disconnected from the laws you should be following as a good and true Christian? You're wrong. You either need to full on own the faith you proclaim (includong the dime throwing), or drop it. Right now you're luke warm, my friend. And once you know, you cannot unknow what it is that you knowingly have ccome to know that you know, you know?

1. I understand your line of reasoning.

2. You have not taken the mosaic law into the context of the laws you are citing

3. You are missing the "When in Israel" Portion in the beginning of the chapter.

Again for theological reasons I disagree with you. However out of respect for the context of the thread I won't get into them.
