i claim to know more? you guys are the one swho claim to have magical powers through prayer. i cant get anything done at all with prayer. you guys are the ones that claim to understand why we are here, who created the uiniverse, how to get salvation, all that. i am the one saying we all know nothing. are you saying god isnt magical? true. no i dont! i dunno anything. i am saying you dont know anything either. again, religious prople are the ones who have all the answers. they even claim to be able to telepathically connect via prayer with the maker! i dont claim to have any supernatural knoledge or powers at all! again, if i am arrogant, then you guys are arrogant for dismissing the rapture guys. hey man it turns out he messed up the math, he is still right i bet. who are you, mr perfect that knows he is wrong? oh you have ALL the answers. why are you calling them nutjobs? because they have faith in something you do not understand? well looky who has all the answers!
from now on when i insult someone, show me specifically and i will apologize (it doesnt count if i say your opinion is stupid, that is insulting your opinion, not you)
nah. i would never do that, i dont yell at anyone or shout anyone down, we are having a discussion, like gentlemen again, it is right to tell that flag burner that he is an idiot for defending that guy who stole the flag, because that was clearly destruction of public property. but it wasnt right to intimidate him and hit him water balloons and menace him until the cops had to intervene. we should respect each other's rights to be morons. i encourage you to tell me your terrible opinions. i really want whatsherface to explain how she prays for her kid to get hits at little league. always want an open dialogue. cant really fight zzombies, just have to get in shape and outrun them.
i know a woman with an ass like this. she is an awful person, perhaps because her ass is so incredible she can do whatever she wants. i do not like her. and then i look at her ass again and i am positive she is the best person ever and i want to hang out with her. then i hate myself. i mean i love asses. its like a person with an ass like that can do no wrong. asses are so powerful
What the hey, I'll give it one more shot. But you're all over the map on this one, so it might take a bit. First of all, I haven't called Camping out on what he predicted one way or another throughout this thread, so you can't put that one on me. Now then: Smart-azz answer; not if you don't believe you can't. :wave: But in all seriousness, Not in any David Copperfield way he's not. Or maybe he is and just chooses not to drop 10 million dollars in my lap, no matter how hard I pray for it. Prayer in some respects is a lot like meditation. It helps focus your own energy to accomplish what's inside you already. Example; several years ago I started having chest pains. They hung around a couple of weeks, and I'm the foolish type of person who'll let something like that go unknown rather than go to a doctor and find out. At that time, my TV station produced a religious program with a local evangelist. On this particular morning, I was working in an office next to the studio while she was taping. I heard her announce that she was going to offer a prayer for healing, and for some reason, I stopped what I was doing and prayed along. By the time she was finished, my chest pains had stopped, and they've never come back. Did God do that? Maybe. Or maybe I was just stressed, and the praying allowed me to calm myself and let whatever was stressing me go away. No matter how arrogant you think I am for believing, I really don't know. But I believe God heard me, and took care of me. You don't have to believe, and I won't ask you to. Just respect my choice. As I've said before, I have my problems with religion, not faith.
why not? he is clearly a lunatic. right, because copperfield is an illusionist, not actually magic. so god is not similar. god is actually magic. for you people that ask me what is the harm of a little faith, here is your example. here is a man who damn sure should see a doctor and follow his advice very closely, for an impossibly serious issue, and he is watching a fracking televangelist instead. if this doesnt prove my point about the damaging frivolity of religion, nothing will.
