Praying for the spoon to bend on its' own will take a lot longer than just bending it yourself!

You don't need prayer - you only need faith. With faith the size of a mustard seed you can move a mountain. See - no prayer needed.

But God is a God of Faith , not Foolishness. God moves according to His Word, not according to someone using His Word for foolish gain. God will not be mocked.

These 4 lines define religion... faith is foolishness (believing in an imaginary cosmic man-god, to whom you telepathically talk to) god moves according to what we imagine is his word religion is using god's word for foolish gain (look around, Joel Osteen, the Roman Catholic Church, this is the essence of religion) god will not be mocked (fear this imaginary loving god will be upset and punish those who mock him)

This is a reminder of the rule specifically for the General Religion Forum In this forum, we will not allow users to bash other users for either believing or not believing in a specific religion. We know that religion is a topic that many people feel extremely passionate about, both believers and non-believers. However, if you wish to participate in this forum, discussions must remain civil at ALL times. If you wish to have a reasoned discussion about religion, the existence or non-existence of God, etc., you may do so, but users who resort to insults or attacks in either direction as part of these discussions will be banned without notice. Also, topics which are designated for response exclusively from one religion or belief system, or which may cause that type of polarization, will be deleted. The concept behind these forums is to encourage anyone to participate and post their opinions and thoughts as long as they are on-topic. Topics which do not adhere to that philosophy will be removed, and the poster may lose his/her posting privileges. Thanks in advance for your cooperation.
