Here are a couple:
What do you have to lose? You might as well cover all your bases just in case my religion is true.
If you pray and something doesn't come true then: 1. Your faith wasn't strong enough 2. God answered just not in the way you expected 3. It wasn't god's will 4. You just have to wait 5. How dare you expect god to do as you ask.
God always answers prayers, but sometimes the answer is no..
Christians pray 100 prayers and if 5 of them come true they take it as proof that god answers prayers. that's the same odds people use when they play the lottery.
Pray for a red light and when it turns green say "see it works."
or like that Catholic over in the other thread, without god and hell what reason do we have to be good?
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

lol, are you an old member posting as someone new? Then how would you know if anything I do is 'classic' or not?
Doesn't take long to read a few threads and figure out you are a one trick pony.

I'm gonna go out on a limb, what with Drippy talking about seeds and love. I'm guessing that he thinks god fills you with the seed of his love the way a husband fills his wife with the seed of his love. Amirite Drippy?!?

Drich can't help but to blame the recipient for his failure to deliver the message. He's a fallen creature, after all.

"God's Plan?" So the ends justify the means in Christianity.

Complaining that science isn't "researching God" after defining it to be science proof. (Immaterial, timeless, blah blah blah...)

While at the same time claiming it is blasphemy to test god. How can science prove something that you can't test?
