Theists i have a little challenge for you

[JonDarbyXIII]

Without prayer I would worry about everything.

It would seem to me that prayer is evidence that you do worry about things daily... just like the rest of humanity. Things are on your mind that concern you, and your solution is to hand your issues over to God. This does not mean that you are not worrying; it means that you have a solution to keep the worry from ruling your life. The thing is there are plenty of other solutions for coping with worry. If God were the only manner of coping, it might say something, but once again it seems that anything that is possible with God is equally possible without God.

Of course you would, believing in god is like living in North Korea. As long as you obey and ask no questions the Party likes you and you have no dilemmas and/or responsibilities.

In an absurd way, life as a believer is a lot more easy, everything is set in stone. You live in a box and someone tells you "of course you`re a slave, but this is temporary. Ah, and please don`t think, just...just trust me."

You go tell the people of North Korea they don`t have free will..."of course you have free will, it`s just that you`ll be punished for just about everything, this doesn`t mean you`re not free to do anything."
