Mmmmh, ok. So what you're saying is even although God wants us to pray, our prayers are in fact ineffective, as God already knows who needs his/her help most. I agree that praying makes people who pray feel better, but we seem to agree that it doesn't have an effect on the person/persons we are...

So Britney gets all these prayers because so many people know her and some little unknown child starving in Africa doesn't get such special treatment as he/she is not a celebrity? If God exists, he/she certainly would know who to give "priority" to, regardless of how many prayers someone gets...

Amoy, what you are experiencing as a young woman is completely natural, there's nothingwrong with it so don't feel guilty or dirty, it's not! If you believe in God, then God made you that way and one day it will make sense when you will share it with someone special. Take care and be happy and...

Thanks Followerofchrist, I'll look it up!

Thanks, Ltsgofishing, glad that what you asked for in your prayer came true but I can't help being a skeptic observer and I couldn't pray to someone whom didn't exist. For me it'd be like talking to myself, not a healthy thing to do! But by all means I do not undervalue the power of the mind...

Tim-from-Pa, yes of course it can and it is explained how the universe evolved, just browse on youtube and there's plenty of very informative clips that explain it. I have used it a lot lately as a source of info on stuff that until recently I was very ignorant of.Denver (Admin), you call those...

Thanks for the sincerity and willingness to "help". Tim-From-Pa, NOBODY ever says that the universe that we see today "just happened", that is a gross misundestanding. There is overwhelming evidence (if you dare to research objectively, even a trip to a science-museum will do) that we got to...

I have just read two books, "The God Delusion" by Prof Richard Dawkins and "Letter to a Christian Nation" by Sam Harris and they have shaken me and shocked me.. for the first time in my life the world makes sense, and the existence of God doesn't. These books very clearly and honestly talk about...

His By Grace, I hear what you're saying and I understand it. I believe that you are in good faith in your belief in the existence of God. That alone, however, doesn't make it any truer. Never underestimate the power of wishful-thinking, it's enough to convince yourself of something that doesn't...

Ok, just to mention a few examples where the Bibles endorses (or even actively encorages) violence and murder: Deuteronomy 13:6, 8-15 says "If your brother etc entices you secretly saying let us go and serve other gods.. you shall kill him;our hand shall be the first against him to put him to...

Thunder, belief in God is not a matter of choice: you either do or don't. You can't make yourself believe in God if you really don't. So you believe in God because you're scared of going to Hell? (well, anyone would be scared of Hell, but you're not considering the possibility that Hell might...

You say you hate to sound harsh.. well, the Bible sounds harsh, God sounds harsh to say the least. As for being a good person with or without religion, then explain how over 97% of convicts in prisons are religious? Atheists don't seem to commit as many crimes, so they must be decent people...

I have to say to all the faithfuls that have posted on this thread: I have recently read a book called "The God Delusion", by Prof ichard Dawkins, which answers a lot (well, actually all) of the questions and "mysteries" mentioned by all of you as reasons why there is a God. Well, I read this...

If you ask anyone in Italy (where I'm originally from, Rome to be precise), NOBODY knows about the Pope's nazi past as it was not printed on ANY newspaper or magazine or mentioned in any news programmes etc. Growing up in Rome, I have seen how the Vatican exerts a strong influence on local and...

Well many youths felt compelled to join Hitler's army BUT many young men from his (Ratzinger's) hometown refused to do so and, guess what, nothing happened to them. He couls have been a "passive" member (like you say, he apparently didn't attend their meetings, tho I'm not aware of this). But...

Personally I think the Christian world shouldn't pay too much attention to someone who enrolled in Hitler's army and worked for a few months in a concentration camp as a guard.
