SENDING DAILY PRAYER

[vmcutshall]

Please leave such participants in this thread as do not share such religious delusions out of your sanctimonious magical intercessory rituals.

Falcon for not reading our prayers you sure have a lot of comments. I really feel sorry for you.

[Phx0808]

May the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob walk beside side you to encourage you, walk in front of you to lead you, and walk behind you to strengthen you and hold you up...

I send prayer mail almost daily, I get sent such wonderful things to share with others, so I do!!!

No thanks; I can do that without some specious and hypothetical egregore's non-help.

When the hypothetically-extant egregore fails to send you those funds, watch for the xtian apologetics to come up with the usual excuses.

A request made out of sarcasm, not being a believer, and not understanding God's "answers" of letting it happen or not - since He sees the bigger picture of what we need and whether or not it would help us or hinder us, won't have much hope of being answered.  He first hears a sinner's prayer of repentance and acceptance.  In the extreme chance of it happening to a request that is sarcastic of a nonbeliever, then it wouldn't be long until that person could or would become a believer.

A request made out of sarcasm, not being a believer ...

You're assuming siggy's request was sarcastic but, don't know this conclusively.  It could very well be however, it's also a test of evidence which either fails or succeeds, sans predicted excuses. An allegedly "omnipotent" egregore should be able to provide the funds and fulfill the evidentiary test.  If the supernatural entity cannot do so, it is either unable or unwilling.  If unable, its not omnipotent.  If unwilling, (as you suggest by imputing a "bigger picture" judgement call), then this is the same cop-out self-proclaimed human "magicians" give when unable to perform.

... and not understanding God's "answers" of letting it happen or not - since He sees the bigger picture of what we need and whether or not it would help us or hinder us, won't have much hope of being answered. 

This is what is meant by xtian apologetics when it comes time to pony-up some evidence. 

In the extreme chance of it happening to a request that is sarcastic of a nonbeliever, then it wouldn't be long until that person could or would become a believer.

Not unless the alleged supernatural egregore makes a guest appearance and hands the cash/check/bearer bond over.  Anything else, (such as nonsense about 'working through intermediate means'), would be a specious attribution of effect to a speculated cause - with no chain of evidence to back up such a speculation.

Well, thank you for your opinion on the matter.

[falcon9]

Well, thank you for your opinion on the matter.

That "opinion" was based upon reasoning, unlike a faith-based empty opinion.

Thanks for your opinion on that, too.

[falcon9]

Thanks for your opinion on that, too.

You can cease trying to be condescending since it doesn't work from an inferior basis.
