Can anyone prove that prayer never works? If you believe in Jesus are you an atheist?

Question

It has never been proven that Jesus was anymore than a rich kid on the block. So if you worship Jesus you are an atheist.
Anyone who claims a prayer never works is plain stupid.

Answer 1

it cant be proven to me coz it works for me ...

Answer 2

Prayer has power and it works. But while you pray you must have the clear understanding of the source from which you are getting blessing.

By worshipping jesus you will not be an atheist, but you will not be a believer also. Jesus become just an instrument and a messenger of the Supreme Father, the supreme soul. Those who start worshipping jesus is like " instead of loving the sender of the letter, they loved the post man" Thatz all

Answer 3

Uh, you DO seem confused, unless you simply didn't read what you wrote before posting it.

It's impossible to PROVE that prayer NEVER works.

There have been attempts to prove that prayer does work; all have failed.

Someone who believes that Jesus lived, and was just a guy, might be an atheist (or might be a theist of a non-Christian faith).

Someone who believes Jesus was the son of god believes in god, and therefore is NOT an atheist.

I've never heard any reason to believe that, assuming he exists, Jesus was rich.

In fact, by all accounts, he was poor.

There are intelligent people who believe in prayer -- partly, it depends on what one expects prayer to do. Those who believe that prayer means communing with god, though I think they're deluded, still find that prayer works, in the sense that they gain clarity and strength from prayer.

The notion that prayer can make things happen (like asking Santa, or curing people of disease and such) has never been shown to be true.

Answer 4

Prayer does work! Sometimes we try so hard to look for the answers but we don't don't that it's staring us right in front of our face.

I did pray to win at a casino to help someone out. I ran out of money and I had one last spin on the slot machine. I ended up winning $1600. Thank God!!

Answer 5

It has never been proven that Jesus was rich, so you are wrong.
You're also rude to call people stupid.

Prayer works.

I am praying for something right now.
I hope my prayer is answered soon.
We shall see.

Answer 6

Prayer works for me. Atheists don't see Jesus as God.

Answer 7

You can't prove prayer works, try and act logical and your life will show some improvement.

Answer 8

And yet you claim yourself to be Christian. As a matter of fact you claim yourself to be "the only Christian". Yet you seem to know nothing of Christianity.

Here's a link to one of his other questions before you give me a thumbs down for being mean.

You obviously don't know about religion in general either because even if someone elses god is false we don't call them atheists we call them pagans.

Answer 9

Imagine this:

Pick 200 children with terminal illnesses. Divide them into two groups.

Pray for the suffering children in one group but do not pray for the suffering children in the other group.

What do you think will happen ?

Answer 10

More has been proven than the fact that he was a "rich kid on the block" Noahs ark has been found, && parts of chariots and stuff has been found in the dead sea from when moses crossed it. evolution has been proven wrong. what else is here to believe in?? go read your Bible...

Answer 11

WTF kind of question is this? You contradict yourself in your own question. You say that Jesus was the "rich kid on the block" (he was a friggin' carpenter, how rich was he?) and if you worship Jesus your a atheist. Then you say that anyone who says prayer nevers works is stupid. WTF?!
