Community Christian Church presents a concept video regarding prayer and our version of Jesus that is best described as "Vending Machine Jesus." Visit us at www.communitychristian.org, or www.missingjesus.info
"If someone prays for patience, do you think God gives them patience? Or does he give them the opportunity to be patient? If they pray for courage, does God give them courage, or does he give them opportunities to be courageous? If someone prayed for their family to be closer, you think God zaps them with warm, fuzzy feelings? Or does he give them opportunities to love each other?" - Morgan Freeman (from the movie "Evan Almighty")
@chicagogurl630. I'm quite aware of the difference between the catholic church and all the other churches are very different in practice. I happen to like church music, so I'm fine with gregorian chant and church hymns; I think its very beautiful. While becoming an atheist I actually came to understand christianity better than most christians do (from a historical sense; obviously I wouldn't say I understand a belief in God that well; though I did once).
@IanEColeman for your information, we aren't catholic, and I will never believe in the catholic church. We play rock music at our church! It's really cool. And I don't think you are a "poor cynical atheist" -- you are probably very successful in life. I'm commenting because I just want people to experience such love and joy as I do.
@chicagogurl630. Are you saying that poor people don't believe in God and prayers? Are you saying that no one who's ever died praying, actually believed in God and the power of prayer? Being 14 doesn't make you an authority on anything, except what life's like as a 14 year old. What do you know about religion or science. When I was your age I was ten times the believer that you are; and look at me now, a poor cynical atheist, who rejects God and ignores his confirmation in the catholic church.
This is what the video is about- not all prayers are answered. You can't pray just at times of need - pray everyday. Prayer has a power, but it will not force you to do anything. If I pray for me to find a lost item without even looking for it, what good does that do? You have to pray and then use that prayer to affect your actions yourself. Prayers just tell God to help you in those actions.
That video is so true , Christians give you nothing for your money.
