Do you Pray for Crazy Things????

bird: If you think I'm going to believe that you have even an iota of interest in the truth, you're fooling yourself. I've given you the truth and you dismiss it without a thought of doing a thorough investigation. The only things you look for in Scripture are things that might support your point of view, which they really don't because you take them out of context. You have asked me if I will question my evidence. Yes, I will and I have. I'll ask you a similar question. When are you going to question your beliefs? When are you going to realize that just the fact that you can never answer anyone's questions regarding your beliefs is a pretty good indication that what you believe is nothing more than your imagination, and it makes many of us doubt that you're telling us the truth?. We believe you cannot tell us how you know you met God because it never happened. You cannot back up any of your claims because there is no evidence. There are those of us who will not believe you because we already have a relationship with God that we can backup with the evidence of the Bible and the evidence of the Bible can be backed up by its accuracy. When we ask you for your evidence you say something like, I'm not going to hand it up to you on a platter. Always evasive responses.

That's a pretty general statement. I am open to the truth when it is truth. When I get stories that don't add up, I will question them. Me, a lost cause?? I didn't realize I was a cause. You say my heart and soul belong to the evil one. My heart and soul belong to me. Surely you can't be calling me evil. Your satan does not exist. If your satan would exist, I would give him a run for his money. I would shine some light into his eyes. Finally, I am learning and growing everyday. That does require change on my part. I do have experience I guess few have had. Start your journey to discovery and be where I am at today. I can not change the truth to fit other's holy books. I am always open for what people say. If you have evidence, feel free to tell me. I will question it. Will you?? I find it funny that even though your holy book was written by mankind that you can't find a single thing you don't agree with. Think about that. Do you really question or do you accept?? If you accept, it is you who cares nothing for the real truth.

Who values beliefs here??? I want you to discover the truth rather than rely on anyone's beliefs whether from holy books or myself. All I hear from you are excuses. Don't want to discover the truth?? Great! That is your choice. I could never be satisfied accepting beliefs as truth. I can see you have no problem with that. Now you want me to convince you so you can accept what I say as beliefs instead of discovering it for yourself. Give me a break! I have learn through past experience there are no short cuts. You would just end up more confused than you are now, if that's possible. I know you have been taught to value beliefs from childhood. I would be doing you no favors by nurturing this. Religion loves beliefs. That's why you are so happy with them. You can make anything you want be the truth with beliefs, however what do you really have???Stories. Until you learn and grow to the point where discovery of the real truth is important to you, you will remain in the comfort of your beliefs. You will never really know the truth for yourself. Go through your religion. They have told you it is the only way.You have blindly accepted that. That's sad.One day you will discover that truth is important to know. Reality is about truth. No matter how one fights. We will live in it. In time, it will show up.

You said exactly what my sister said you'd say.

Perhaps, you should listen to your sister. Perhaps, she sees more than you. Will your Ego allow that?? Will she be brave enough to speak?

Be who you must. It's a part of the plan. You will have all my love and kindness regardless of your actions.

Perhaps, you should look for others ways rather than striking it rich. If travelling around the world is where you are meant to be, there will be a WAY. Look for that open door. Perhaps even a travel job is possible. Of course, it is always nice to dream about being rich, however the reality is that it might just ruin our lives.

Communication is key in any relationship. Your actions will just bring you closer to God. Also, if you get lonely, there are many people who are happy to help. Sometimes one must only be brave enough to ask. The love and kindness you give the world will return when you need it the very most.

You are praying someone else's written prayer. It says a lot, however I feel it's important to give that personal touch with our own words. On the other hand, I will never be one to tell others how to pray. People should be free to pray or not pray any way they want.

Perhaps some of those silly requests do come natural. After all, we know God can deliver. The easiest of all solutions is to have it done for us.

It is natural, infact I do not even thing about it after saying those things.

Praying over a photocopier??? That's good. Can I tell the people at my office that this works??? Those copiers can be a real pain at times. God shows His love for all people. God loves Unconditionally. There is no requirement of belief with God. Religion makes that demand not God.

Yes, very well said.

I understand when one prays to be with those they love the most. I think everyone does that.

So you are the one who has been praying to convert me. Kind of working behind the scenes on me. OK. OK. One can try. With so many praying for their team to win, it's interesting to discover someone praying for their team to lose. I guess someone somewhere is praying for anything one can imagine. The diversity in this world is a great gift few realize. It will always keep things interesting.

Yes, a thank you would be a nice start to a prayer, however that is often forgotten by the need for the next thing on our list of needs.You are right. THe important things should come first, however how can most resist praying about what is currently on our minds regardless of how silly that might be. I guess it's human nature.

Yes, I guess I'm the same way. I tend to handle the little things myself.On the other hand, I think it's good for the soul to throw in a silly thing once and a while.

I guess it never hurts to throw it all in together. It never hurts to ask.

I knew as wise lady who told me that deep down there are no real atheists. She said when the going gets really hard, atheists are also praying to somebody. Yes, we know who they pray to.

Of course, I'm sure there are people praying on both sides for those sports teams. Everybody loves to win.

You do have a point. Getting one crazy thing granted might just open the door for all kinds of crazy prayers.
