When you prayed did it ever work?

He didn't answer that time "I" prayed, on my knees when "I" was 5 or 7...or...uh... oh....when bullies pantsed me...or when my mommy was dying of cancer! Prayers being answered without regard to probability or the laws of physics would be evidence in favor of a being that answers prayers. That not happening is evidence against such a being. It's theists who tell us that God answers prayers, we're just evaluating their claims. It seems to be the case that if you pray for something that is reasonably likely, you are reasonably likely to see what you prayed for happen. If you pray for something that is unlikely, you are unlikely to see what you prayed for happen, but it will still happen occasionally. If you pray for something that actually would require a miracle, you will never see what you prayed for happen. This is what is expected if no one is answering prayers with any kind of supernatural power. Of course, it doesn't rule out a God who doesn't answer prayers, but that's the God of deists, not Christians. RE: When you prayed did it ever work?

Seems appropriate
http://youtu.be/TI0fk_gCdzE Genesis No Reply At All Lyrics Songwriters: RUTHERFORD, MICHAEL/COLLINS, PHIL/BANKS, TONY Talk to me, you never talk to me. Ooh, it seems that I can speak. But I can hear my voice shouting out. But there's no reply at all. Look at me, you never look at me, Ooh, Ive been sitting, staring, seems so long. But you're looking through me Like I wasn't here at all. No reply, there's no reply at all. Dance with me, you never dance with me. Ooh, it seems that I can move, I'm close to you, close as I can get. Yet there's no reply at all, There's no reply at all. I get the feeling you're tryin to tell me, Is there something that I should know? What excuse are you tryin to sell me? Should I be reading stop or go, I don't know. Be with me, seems you're never here with me, Ooh, I've been trying to get over there. Ah, but it's out of my reach. And there's no reply at all. There's no reply at all. I get the feeling you're trying to tell me; Is there something that I should know? What excuse are you trying to sell me? Should I be reading stop or go, I don't know. Maybe deep down inside, I'm trying for no one else but me. Too stubborn to say, the buck stops here. It's not the one you're looking for. But, maybe deep down inside, I'm lying to no one else but me. Oh but my back is up. I'm on my guard - with all the exits sealed. Listen to me, you never listen to me, Ooh, and it seems there's no way out, I've been trying, but we cannot connect, And there's no reply at all, There's no reply at all, There's no reply at all, No reply at all. Is anybody listening? - oh oh, No reply at all... |
