Prayer not working
October 20, 2012 at 3:25 pm
I visited my 86 year old mother today, she has been suffering for a long time with arthritis in her knees and has difficulty walking. She told me that the minister from her church had visited and said a prayer for her. After watching her walk slowly and painfully around I commented that it didn't seem to have done much good. I got one of THOSE looks, the kind that will curdle milk at 30 paces!

Did she rub sacred oil over the phallic idol in the proper direction? That might be whats missing.

Good for your mother and please tell her I support her and also will pray for her.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

Which will do her no fucking good at all but you will con yourself into thinking that you make a difference, G-C.
You clowns are so predictable!

Naw, naw, you're doing it all wrong. You need to pay a prosperity doctrine preacher lots of money.....I...I mean donate your money to god....and this preacher will pray for this woman and you will get your miracle breakthrough....when god is good and ready to. Until then keep forking over the dough!

I have the faith your mother will be healed through Jesus Christ like all the other vague, biased and hearsay-based testimonies that I've heard.
Seriously though, I hope she gets better soon.

Since there's no god, why don't you just cure her yourself?

If I had the knowlege, skill and ability then I would, whatever I do will be better than what the loving god is putting her through!
