RE: Question about prayer.
Why pray to an all seeing all knowing god? He must already know what you are praying about so why waste his time telling him things he knows already?
The meek shall inherit the Earth, the rest of us will fly to the stars.

Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups

If you don't need to pray then you don't need priests to tell you how to pray. Therefore you need to pray, so the fat fucking priests can continue not working for a living.

what of the thousands that do get miraculously healed? they are dismissed/not counted as anomalies.

That said what is wrong with death? lest your afraid of it, and teach you children there is no God and to also fear death.
On our side of the world death is a warm welcome home. so if a child is plagued with a terrible burden then going home to where there is no pain is not a bad thing. Why would we then teach or try and avoid it if we did not believed what we taught?

So no chem therapy and other medical methods were used and someone just miraculously healed?

Show me link to the miracle!!!

I have no fear of death, you can be alive or dead, before I was alive I must have been dead - never seemed a problem. The process of dying is another matter, it could be painful and messy but death itself, no problem.

again dismissed as anomalies or misdiagnosis. The system you rely on for 100% of your knowledge is simply not designed to catalog or document anything it does not already understand. stories of miracious recovery are often thrown out because it is assume data was misgathered or incomplete leading to a misdiagnosis each and every time things like this occour.
here are a few

then what on God's earth makes you think I am talking to you? I gave a very specific set of parameters and drew a conclusion based on people who believe along the lines I drew... you don't.. so f-ing what?!?!? Then I must not be talking to you. I am speaking to those who fear death and teach their kids to also fear death because this life is all we get! If you don't do any of those things then my dearest retard, I am not speaking to you at all. So why the need to speak up?
