Power of Prayer + a Prayer Request for YouTube!

[endthedisease]

It has nothing to do with prayer. When you tell yourself you want something your body tends to respond to it. Your mind actually has some control over your body. That's why it's good to surround yourself with positive people.

Poe's Corollary: "It is impossible for an act of Fundamentalism to be made that someone won't mistake for a parody.”

@plightweisgoff Is this directed at me? I'm not a fundamentalist, I'm a Catholic, but I'm sure it doesn't make much difference to atheists who unthinkingly lump all Christians together.

@stallion4life

Whatever you faith may be, your video is a good example of Poe's Corollary: I haven't the foggiest if you're actually serious, or are merely acting a part.

Please verify above mentioned "miracles". 

[stallion4life]

@NoFearOfGod *Verify* them!?! I can verify them because I lived them. Perhaps you want me to list these miracles?

[NoFearOfGod]

@stallion4life I would love to hear of a single miracle that could be verified anywhere in the world. A miracle that violates the laws of physics, something popping in to existance in a way that can not be explained.

And please, no "miracle of birth" or "sunsets". A real live miracle.

@NoFearOfGod You've never heard of Our Lady of Fatima? (among many other hundreds...)

[NoFearOfGod]

@stallion4life Two small children saying they say something floating in the sky is not a miracle. The predictions made, supposedly written by children, are nothing more than rambling metaphor.

I mean something verifiable. Provable. A video from a major teaching hospital showing someone growing a new limb, something like that.

[stallion4life]

@NoFearOfGod You obviously know very little about Our Lady of Fatima.

People have inexplicable growths on their bodies all the time, they're not usually called miracles. :) I'm really not clear on what you will and what you won't consider a miracle. It's not uncommon for people to "miraculously" recover from cancer, although I suppose you're not going to count that.

If the power of prayer really worked, then every man would be walking around with a foot long cock. How do we know that these women shown in your video didn't get implants?

I guess all those years I spent as an xtian praying for world peace and an end to war and racial conflicts went unheard. They surely were unfulfilled!

@linuxman48858 As a kid I prayed to God to grow a big penis, and I grew up to be very well endowed (see my screen name!) It is true that I am Italian and come from a family of well-endowed men, but they are all also very prayerful people! I don't discount the power of prayer affecting my size.

No, there is not world peace, and there will be no world peace until the day every nation proclaims the name of Jesus Christ. But prayers get answered every day that make the world more peaceful.

The very idea equates morality with a monetary transaction, where other people can pay your debt for you. While I could in fact pay your debt, and even serve your prison sentence for you, this would not impact your moral responsibility for being in debt and having committed a crime. In fact, it would be immoral of you to even accept such an offer if it was given.

Christianity goes a step further though, in that no compensation is given. It's just "Screw the victims - welcome to heaven"

[Gnomefro]

So we can conclude that prayer does nothing. This is not strange, because the idea that it did something is a claim that the laws of nature are violated on a daily basis. Not only that, but God would likely have to screw over other people to answer a lot of them.

The worst part is that you think you can pray for forgiveness though. That idea is profoundly immoral. Human sacrifice does not remove moral responsibility.

[Gnomefro]

The problem is that your idea of prayers being answered is unfalsifiable. Basically, you're just attributing anything good that happens in your life to "God". Well, guess what, good things happen to everyone. If what you said was true, there should be easily identifiable statistical differences between Christians and non-Christians, but there aren't. In fact, the most atheistic countries in the world, such as Japan and all of Scandinavia, are among the best places to live according to the UN.
