does God answer prayers? (40)

Self delusion works ?

Actually, atheists are not as angry as religious types make them out to be. After several thousand years of persecution by religious types, burning at stake, unspeakable torture etc, atheist are finally able to speak out.
In the last gasps of dying religion the religious types accuse atheists, agnostics and anyone who does not conform to their beliefs of what religious types really are.

He had something better planned for all these Jews in the concentration camps too?

Sir, my concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God's side, for God is always right.

We'll see. If that pretty Polish lady gives me her phone number and Ajax, Barca and AC all fail to top the group then I'll say yes She has answered my prayers

When I was a kid, if you asked 100 people at random "Do you believe in god?" I would expect a very small number 5-10 would have said no. Around age 13 I started having doubts about the reality of god even though as a catholic I went to church, received communion, confirmation, even prayed occasionally although I always felt stupid doing it because I never knew what to say and it seemed like an excercize in futility. Like my little prayers were really going to be answered, they never were as I recall. The only reason I behaved like a devout christian was because my mother forced it on me.

Today, if you once again sampled 100 people at random "Do you believe in god?" I would expect a much larger number maybe 30-40 would say no.
When I was a kid you wouldn't dare say you don't believe in god because if you did, you would be an outcast and be viewed as a bad person.
I think christian religions are losing their stranglehold on peoples minds.

No such thing as God. So no answer.

But She must exist...men are killing people over Her

Yes Zeus, Krishna, Osiris, Ices, Horus, Ra always answers all my prayers.
