Omfg.. I had an awesome response typed out for this, and then the internet died. TWICE. I'm incredibly upset, especially since that was like over an hour of typing that I just cba to do again.
What, that's your only response? Of course I never prayed, it doesn't even work. Even if the studies didn't suggest this, what's the point of a system where prayers are answered on a yes-no-maybe/today-never-someday basis? I can get the same results without wasting my time, thanks.
No, it is your god. As in, the god you specifically believe in. I'm sure even people of the same denomination as you have different opinions of how this god really is like. Take SG as an example. He doesn't take the bible literally whereas you seem to. Clearly, the way he envisions his/your god is going to be different from the way you do. The Abrahamic god isn't THE god, simply one of many. Be honest to yourself, if you would have been born in India or somewhere in Africa, you wouldn't even believe in the same god as you do now. You'd be all "Those Christians are wrong! I'm right! How can they be so stupid and not see the evidence?!" And, of course, they'd retaliate with "Nuh-uh! Our GOD, LORD, and SAVIOUR, is AWESOME. He's GREAT. YOUR gods don't even exist." This, of course, should be followed by groans from atheists.
I'm ignorant, blind, and dumb? F off you bloody hypocrite. WHAT evidence are you referring to? If you have any, please enlighten me, because I'm rather curious to know! I've asked before anyway, so bring me the damned evidence. If you can manage to find some that I can't tear to shreds (which would be simple enough if some existed), then bring it forth. If you can't find any, then we can either conclude that you believe false facts (though this is already obvious from the OP), or that you believe in your god because of faith. Personally (that's with two L's you benighted fool), if it's the faith factor, I can stop caring/wasting my time now. You're free to believe what you want because of faith, I don't particularly care, though I won't agree with you. However, if you choose to believe in flawed information, I don't really want you spreading your fallacies like a disease. I think it's the civil duty of a more informed person to help you out, rectifying your way of thinking and generally making sure you don't cause any unnecessary mayhem.
Dude, the origin of the species WAS NOT RANDOM! Also, and I'm sure I've said this before (or was it in another thread?), the only reason the universe is so ordered is because it's so old. As time went on, the universe expanded and the room for order outweighed the amount of chaos. Essentially:
That isn't proof. You haven't even told us what you experienced..
1:24 AM. I'm going to bed. Ffs, I was supposed to be done with this at midnight. Damn internet. Sorry, it really was better/longer then first time..
