The problem with prayer.

[Incognito]

Do you have any evidence, then?

 God has given me an abundance of evidence in our personal relationship, you see that's a great part of what Christianity is about, God giving proof that His children will know and understand.

Please give me some evidence on why we should believe the Bible and that there is a magical man in the sky called God watching us.

It is very hard to leave aside the "next life". At its core, if what Christianity purports to be true is, then there is only one thing that will really matter in this life as eternity seems like a long time.
Your video is an interesting evaluation of testing a theory against reality. I wish it were as simple as if it works it is true, and if it doesn't dismiss it.

I am only aware of one way to test the Christian God, and I highly suspect anyone here would truly follow the parameters of the test and give it honest evaluation.

Go right ahead and report back to us Comarade!

The problem with prayer is it doesn't fucking work.

Alasdair, I can respect that you don't believe in God and have no problem with some playful taunting on AF. Even still please remember that our relationship with Jesus is sacred to Christians. Your rececent sexualized comments about Christ crossed the line of basic decency and are truly vile.

So you're saying Jesus doesn't want me to get down on my knees to worship him??

Damn...what good is Christianity if you can't even give God a little bob on the knob?

Kittencorn understands. Silly ChadWooters being a massive prudish twatface.

I'm sure Jesus (if he exists) can stick up for himself Chad and doesn't require your 'i'm offended' stance to try and shut down ridicule.

Prayer is just a way of communicating with daddy apparently, if daddy stopped hiding and actually interacted with his children it would save a lot of pointless hot air.

And Godzilla looked down on GC, CW, and Drich and turned to Jezilla junior and sayeth ... "For fucks sake every time I want to speak to them they are too busy speaking to their feckin' hands"

This is what always amazes me, why does your God always give evidence to someone that does not require it such as you?

You're correct the knowledge wasn't required, through God's grace He gave me what He promised He would. Faith is required to obtain the knowledge.

And why is the evidence only something you or another indoctrinated person would consider as evidence?

First off we are not indoctrinated, and second we do not consider it evidence for belief. God promises this knowledge to those who accept Christ through faith as their savior. Faith+Promise= Knowledge.

The evidence is obviously something you want to hear, something that bloats your ego even more, rather than something that could be empirically tested by others 

  Yes all evidence is what I want to hear even when it's not what I expect. No it doesn't bloat my ego, it does how ever cause me to feel very good that God would share the knowledge with me as He promised. Christians do not need to go through a process of testing the knowledge God gives us we know for certain it's validity.
