I really thought I would have at least seen DoUwant2go2Heaven? saying, "the world raised her up, not ? ". -

Ironically, the idea that "there is no reward in being 'good' other than what I make for myself", is pretty much the same ideology that Katharine Hepburn, an atheist, held.
The "reward I make for myself" is not a reward in respect to ? . I can't earn ? 's Favor with my notion of goodness even if in all commonality it is morally good. Christianity is about Jesus and the "reward" he has earned and has given freely to those who believe so. -
all the time

prayer doesn't work, it's essentially a way for people to calm themselves and ease their minds.

yea cuz in a crisis situation a calm and eased mind means absolutely nothing -

But what the ? does that have with ? or him fixing a situation, prayer is essentially the same ? ? as meditation. I guess simple people need something to believe in, instead of controlling their own destiny. -
no.
next question
thanks. -

that's a pretty smug way of looking at it... -
My mind is probably way more powerful then the majority of thos in here who say prayer doesn't work. I usually get exactly what I want to the point that it's scary. Not all the time but alot of the time. Yet and still, I've read the Quran, The Bible, The Analects of Confucious, Zen, and things that I've forgotten so maybe my vibe and the things I know are more in depth. Praying is a spiritual excercise, it's a focus and a meditation. Yet some of you don't believe you even have a soul or a spirit....so I don't understand why you would think prayer works for you?
Alot of you have read 0 spiritual texts yet criticize all of them, and listen to what preachers tell you. So again, why would praying work for you?
Alot of you believe ? is Thor, some guy that looks like Triple H and does things for everybody as soon as they asks....thats pretty ridiculous.
You can't wake up and expect to have muscles and you only work out once in a blue moon, and for the rest of that time you eat garbage.
WHy do you barely believe in ? and expect prayers to be answered.
It seems like most of you don't get your way in life and just walk around pissy about it.
Loo makes posts basically confessing how he gives up when things dont go his way, instead of researching prayer he goes to the next person (Christian) and he asks them why his life isnt working or to show him evidence lol....Like Christians have the answer
LOO you do Know not even Jesus was Christian right? I bet you don't cause I'm willing to bet you havent read the bible. SMH -

Basically ur saying believe in yourself, I be trying to tell that to ppl all the time, and they always say some ? like ? gon help me, and I be wantin to say u don't deserve help, but i I be don't wantin to get in the arugment about religion that much -

In my humble opinion, men are ? , we are ? . -

i'm pretty sure even the Bible indicates that prayer doesn't always work
-
ive been struggling with this for a minute. certain things Ive prayed for and witnessed others pray for went unanswered.

how do u control life or death sickness or health? how do u control someone helping or harming u when they have the power? all thats out of ur control -
My cuzin who's a catholic tells me all the time its cool I haven't accepted jesus as my lord and savior, and always say jesus will present himself to me before I die, and its like quote from the bible I just can't remeber it..
I'm a former catholic who's lost his way, I belive nothin will happen unless I make it happen mysef, but sometimes I believe there's more out there sometimes I believe there's a higher power workin, so I always keep my mind open to religion then just turn a blindside to it..
WISDOM, KNOWLEDGE, and UNDERSTANDING -

beleiving something is not as simple as beleiving nothing
and you only control 50% of your faith in life -
that's pretty humble
Well according to your bible, "they" made us in their image so it's only right that i am ? . -
i always viewed prayer as a funny thing..
but i'm a firm believer that it's more for the personal peace of the person praying than the actual reality of it being answered or not...
having true faith in prayer will place you in a mind set where ur not really worried anymore if that paticular request is anwsered or not...you're just at peace with getting it off your chest, that way if it is "aswsree" u'll be thankful and give praises....or if u never see an answer ur still okay with it because you have the faith to know that ? knows what you wnat in life...
and if you still strive towards that ting you prayed for it becomes easier to accept it just not being for you, if all your attempts to achieve it along with prayer just don't work out in your favor...
ther'es too much in the world we just cant explain....
a person can go crazy trying to figure out or understand why this happened to them, or why something they really wanted didn't come to them, especially when they prayed extra hard for it....
or they can just have faith, and a peace of mind to know that heir prayers and requests wer heard and that thing they prayed for just wasn't for them....
like i said,..it's afunny thing.... but i strongly feel it's unique to each person and how much they truly believe in it's ability to work for them -
and they say i make a lot of religious threads

well i base on what i believe in, in what i can see, touch,etc. Faith is no difference than being ignorant to me!
