This statement is misleading because there is evidence.

It's called the Bible. Actually read it for once and pray and you will see the power of prayer and feel the Holy Spirit and you will know that it is true.

There is evidence.

In other words, would you consider the writings of the Saints as a source for Christian wisdom and theology?
So many protestants that I have known put a lot of faith in a particular contemporary preacher, but turn up their noses at the writings of Catholic and Orthodox saints.
It seems to me that these ancient writings have stood up to centuries of scrutiny by religious scholars. So why do so many discount them so easily?

A concept of a super deity that cannot be seen, measured, or categorized, only experienced on a deep and personal level cannot be proven, but since it cannot technically be disproven, the determination is not a positive yes or no. This is what is known as: Inconclusive. Therefor, the only stance that supports an inconclusive finding would be the logical choice, and that is Agnostic not Aethist.

Let's say you find a wife or you win the lottery or beat cancer. Any of those.

Now, you have found "faith" and believe in God, or maybe you already did.

My question is, when you thank God for those things or suggest he gave them to you, are you not indirectly implying God is being favourable? I mean, lots of people die from cancer, lots of people live in Poverty, and lot's of people do not find a nice girl (Probably -1% :) )

Isn't it wrong for a God to give wealth all to one person via a lottery? Isn't this playing "favourites?" Why do you thank God, what did he do? Didn't YOU do it?

What if you died and you saw your God and he said you have lived, your time is over you will now cease to be and you will never know you were?

Would you not be greatful you had a life at all?
Would you feel cheated, if it was the end?

i respect true christianity & give respect to christians. i truelly believe that our religions have alot in common & whether you want to except it or not theres not a muslim alive that does not love the prophet jesus thats in our holy quran, if muhammad & jesus were here on earth now would they argue like we do? would one tell the other he's going to hell? i think not. does not your teaching tell you to love your enemies(matt 5:43-44) but in all my responses i only heard that from a few. i speak the truth! it was christians that put blacks in slavery for 400 yrs not muslims, it was christians that bombed hiroshima not muslims & it is now a christian goverment & president that goes in every other country using military might in the name of jesus doing wrong to get there way & you wonder why the east does not like us. in all history you cannot say the muslim countries have don this to any other country unless provoked"i challenge you".no insults but maybe you need to check your history.

I'm beginning to feel like a pushover in handling my business. I was asked to draw a piece of artwork for someone and haven't been paid for it yet. My friend told me that I'm too nice, and I have to be more aggressive in order to succeed in any business. It's not in my nature to be mean, but I'm beginning to think that maybe she's right.

personally, I don't think a person who bad-mouths others is worth following, that's why I am really wondering why those Evangelists still have followers who take the Evangelist's words as Bible-truth.

has anyone ever noticed the same thing?
