Maybe this question is for Atheists,

When a prayer fails, christians obviously bring out plenty of excuses from their own mind which are not mentioned in bible at all!

For example,

- It's god's will.
- It's god's plan.
- God didn't answer the prayers for good reasons.
- Unanswered prayers are also answered in mysterious ways.

etc, etc...

My question is, which of such excuse sickens you the most?

The remarkable thing is perhaps that they owned up to it.

I suppose some will wonder what this is doing under R&S. For others it will be pretty self-evident.

They are intelligent web sites using the bible and rationality to show truth. The delusion is the one of the most interesting for those of you who have taken psych 101, but have not applied what you learned. For those of you who dont know, check them out if you are so strong in your faith!

but I bet you will trash logic rationality intelligence common sense and wisdom and not go there.
Try to remember though God is supposed to be wise rational intelligent and logical. Interesting eh?

the majority of christians here seem to get so angry and feel these questions are attacks of their faith. Why?
They should be easy to answer- bible's been around for a while.
Maybe those of you who are offended by simple questions of the bible and rational and logical thought should log out.

If youve seen the website.
There is not a single case of a limb growing back- a miracle!
But valid question is God prejudice against amputees.
I bet the rational is God is planning something special for them.

A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's showroom, and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted. As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car.

Finally, on the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat Disappointed, the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible, with the young man's name embossed in gold. Angrily, he raised his voice to his father and said, "With all your money you give me a Bible?” And he stormed out of the house, leaving the Bible.

Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and wonderful family, but realized his father was very old, and thought perhaps he should go to him. He had not seen him since that graduation day. Before he could make arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and willed all of his possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately and take care of things.

When he arrived at his father's house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to search through his father's important papers and saw the still new Bible, just as he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. His father had carefully underlined a verse,

Matt 7:11, "And if ye, being evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more e shall your Heavenly father which is in heaven, give to those who ask Him?"









As he read those words, a car key dropped from the back of the Bible. It had a tag with the dealer's name, the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words...PAID IN FULL.

How many times do we miss God's blessings because they are not packaged as we expected? I trust you enjoyed this. Pass it on to others. Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; but remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for...


IF YOUR GIFT IS NOT PACKED THE WAY YOU WANT IT, IT'S BECAUSE IT IS BETTER PACKED THAT WAY! ALWAYS
APPRECIATE LITTLE THINGS

For those of you who do not have a personal relationship with God, why not take a chance and talk to him? What have you got to lose? If you are willing to open your heart to even the remotest possibility that he exists, I can assure you, he will answer. (I'm not talking about a religion here but a one on one personal relationship with your creator)
