Putting God to the Test

Dear God,

If you don't exist, give me absolutely no sign.

This line of thinking might have meant something for me, except that I used to be a Christian and I was as sincere as fuck when I prayed. All I wanted was a little comfort, but in the end, I got more of that from a teddy bear than any god.

And just imagine if that Teddy Bear was divine.

Its no fucking wonder we're still in a recession when the majority put imaginary friends to the test in real life.

Gosh damn...

You do realize that half of my brain rotted because of your post?

Maybe that's his goal? Now you are one step closer to Theism.

ok, I'll bite.

Ask your god to give me the power to heal anyone just by me touching them and wanting to actually heal them. Also give me the ability to know what is wrong with the other person just by touching them.

When I can do this, I'll get back to you.

Ok, both of those gifts are things God can do, and has done for others. The part about "anyone", at anytime, I have never heard of. Usually God heals some and others remain sick. I have prayed for my self and remained sick, yet healed another instantly. But there is nothing impossible for God. I will pray that God will reveal himself to you in such a way that it leads you into a powerful healing ministry. I will pray he imparts both gifts you have ask for to you.

I am sorry to hear this. I hope that you find your way back to God, as he really does have your best interests in mind.

Take the following verse:

Gal 6:9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

My life at times, even as a Christian was full of deep sorrow. As an example I could never find a wife, I had some girlfriends but they would always end up dumping me and leaving me heart broken. I felt like God just did not care. One a few occasions I even sinned against God due to the fear, and sorrow. However God was gracious, and told me a person I could marry, the person actually ended up marrying me, and we have a very good relationship. So all my years of sorrow were taken away by God. Like that verse says, if we don't give up eventually we will get the answer to our prayers.

Pray for proof? None of us have ever thought of that! /sarcasm



God didn't save me from myself. God didn't show me how to share myself with others. God didn't show me how to love myself. I did that. I overcame. I don't need my imagination to help.
