Does god exist?

Western child prays for cake on his birthday > gets cake

African child prays for rice or water or anything > she dies


Praying makes no difference to this outcome because it's no different to hoping or wishing for your situation to improve.

Maybe they had different religions?
Maybe they had different beliefs?
Maybe the western child worked in harmony with his prayer?
Maybe the African child did not?

I pray for my dead grandfather to come back from the grave. God will surely answer it!

Patience and faith my friend.

I was being sarcastic.
My grandfather's been dead for over 10 years now, I don't think any science can bring him back, nor religion for that matter.

You would never know until you give religion a chance

So let's see:

I pray for a car.
If I get a car then the prayer worked!
If I don't get a car then I didn't do it right or I didn't ask for the right reasons!
If I get a car 30 years later then it was because I was patient!


Ok, that's every single eventuality covered. Whatever could possibly happen, you could claim the prayer worked.
Or maybe the prayer didn't do anything at all :|

Seems legit

Religion can bring back something with no organs left?

Maybe they had different religions?
Maybe they had different beliefs?
Maybe the western child worked in harmony with his prayer?
Maybe the African child did not?

None of the above, the prayers simply made no difference, just like saying 'Oh I wish for some food!' makes no difference.

Maybe because prayers aren't real?

God can do whatever he wants...

Enough about my beliefs...how about yours?

[legend2579]

I don't believe in god lol.
Still talking to the invisible man in the sky doesn't make a difference. And you don't pray for birthday cake. It's pretty obvious that you're going to get something like that from a friend or your family. That's like saying "god answered my prayer and gave me presents on Christmas!"

So if God wanted he could make super dog real?

Enough about my beliefs...how about yours?

I believe that I exist, and that my senses are sometimes accurate.

From these two basal assumptions are built all the ideas I'm prepared to accept.

Are you atheist?

He could...but i highly doubt he would make a "super dog".

and if he wanted to could he fix my sister's brain damage?

I guess we have to conclude that God doesn't want to help people with brain damage...or people who have lost limbs etcetera.



In any case, a god which doesn't want his own super-dog isn't worth worshipping.

I sense chaisson is a troll

A quick question.

How do you think the earth or the universe or human beings were created>?

[legend2579]

Earth was created by planetesimals in the early solar system. Humans came from evolution.
