. . . I like this thread . . .
Somebody said that people pray to/believe in God because they can feel theat they are not responsible for the things that happen to them in their lives . . .
I agree . . . let me expand the idea . . .
I always use a fairlly simple analogy to explain my stand on this topic . . . by using this analogy I have helped many people to understand my views . . . by using this same analogy I have lost many friends . . . anyway . . .
People praying DO NOT have any evidence that their prayers are answered. I have come to the realization that a person who believes enough in a supreme being to send a heartfelt prayer to said being . . . is so unstable that regardless of the outcome, they will assume/believe it is God's will.
If the same person were told that telephone poles were "gods" . . . they would pray to telephone poles. In the event that one of those prayers coincided with a later incident in that person favor . . . does that mean that the telephone pole "answered" the prayer. Don't be ridiculous . . .
The belief in a god, any god, plays into the mentality of certain types of people. The same type of people who won't go bowling without their lucky boxer shorts on or at least in their pockets (hahahaaaa) . . .
The natural thing to do once praying, is to act in accordance to what the prayer was meant to accomplish. ie: If I want to find Energy Suspension motor mounts for my '93 G20 . . . the natural thing to do is to look for the mounts. A person who believes in God . . . will first pray, then look for the mounts. Upon finding the mounts, or having them fabricated, the sad fact is that these weak individuals, thank a being whose existence is uncertain, before giving themselves a pat on the back . . .
How absurd can it get . . .
I am king of my destiny . . . or the destroyer of the same . . .
