When these people’s prayers aren’t answered, I wonder if they ever fire off another prayer cussing God out.

I’m an atheist, but if I came down with Covid-19, even I’d pray to God.
There’s a special prayer gathering held… probably this morning actually, at a church I passed today. It was to pray for no Covid.

I don’t understand these limited requests. If they believe in God and that he answers prayers, why not pray for an end to all death and suffering?

What I dont understand is praying to the creator of the virus to fix it.
God botherers dont seem to have a problem with such logical conflicts.
Very low wattage people in my opinion.

If we were praying to the creator of the virus, why aren’t we praying to Batman?

Same as people who pray for God to end the drought.
That’s very nice of them.
But, didn’t God create the drought? If he didn’t, why didn’t he stop whatever ‘evil’ that did create it? Did he not know it was going to be created? Then, he’s not omniscient, is he? Was he unable to? Then, he’s not omnipotent, is he?

Who said we’re not?
This is shaping up as a big one, it’s got out of the gates well.
A lot of these questions just stem from a lack of education and can be resolved by a few nights of Bible study classes.
As Pastor Chuck Swindoll says, there’s no such thing as a silly question, although they may seem silly to biblical intellectuals and scholars.

To be fair we only have the word of other humans that God is omniscient or omnipotent. Maybe he’s just the local flunky for the Orion arm who gets a lot of good press.
Might be fun to write a horror story in which Donald Trump really is the second coming of Jesus Christ.

God killed his younger brother yesterday. Maybe there is some purpose to it all.
i’m just remembering that not entirely infrequently some part of the health benefits of legit medications prescribed by modern witch doctors appear to magically confer health improvements by, in some part, placebo effect, involving faith and hope
“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, farting, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, and a forum of godlessness where nameless abominations shall be manifest; and knowing not which way to turn.”
So reckoneth the Lord

Reminds me of Mr Minchin’s song:
Thank-you God
For fixing the cataracts
Of Sam’s mum
…
I’m sure you all know the rest.

Thanks Ian.
I didn’t realise that farting was a mortal sin.
Thank goodness you informed me before it was too late.

A famous surgeon once stood to accept some medal of honour for his work. He said, “I only cut them, God heals them”. Which leads me to believe that you would be as well off to cut yourself.

I recall seeing an earthquake in Los Angeles back in the eighties I’d think and cars were falling off a bridge that had broken and collapsed. A friend asked what would you do if you were drivin along and fell off?
I said, I’d be trying to remember the words to Hail Mary.
He said thought you didn’t believe in god?
Said, I don’t. But everyone calls for mum when they know it is going to hurt.

Just remember that God managed to wipe out the dinosaurs without hurting us. ;)

Donald Trump has been doing that and has sole rights to the movie.

Dinosaurs refuse to attend those particular churches.
Go to any of the Christians Against Dinosaurs churches on a Sunday. How many dinosaurs do you see there?
None.
Bloody heathen reptiles…
