    I do the complete opposite of praying. Whenever I'm faced with unforseen difficulties. I take a long gander and the sky and just shout "**** all of you."

    funny thing is atheists believe in karma and demons and even hell sometimes..well dumbys you cant have hell without heaven, you cant have karma unless there is a spiritual field

    honestly, every atheist ive met or seen has been a hardcore pot smoker..Im not saying smoking pot makes someone an atheists,but i do think it frys their braincells to trip out and make them to think they are god and there is no bigger god.

    Of course, if you say your a god, you will get nailed to a cross in your feet and hands by atheists..Nice going je..i mean atheists. Why would prophets bother righting the bible if god was fake? Ok, so the whole bible is a made up story? So there was no jesus? So the billions of religion followers on earth are all idiots?

    Stepping into the world of atheists and you see nothing but "lets party,lets make money, then we turn into worm food in the ground".

    So the whole purpose on earth is to turn into wormfood for the maggots in the grave. It isnt for god or a test or love or any reason. There is no god,therefore why not shoot a bunch of people? God wont punish you.

    Atheists need proof. Funny thing is god shows proof everyday with miracles but atheists are so fried on weed they dont even notice the miracles.

    I thought democrats were dumb,then I thought evolutionists were dumb, but atheists top the cake.

    Heres why I believe in god. Ive tested him.Ive said prayers that have literally a 1/billion chance of happening just for kicks I asked for it anyways in a prayer, and within 24 hours it happened. Thats all I needed to know/see to know that angels/god/whatever was listening and answered my prayers.

    AS you can see, atheists never pray, because they are unlucky losers.They never have miracles happen,so they think "why bother to pray,nobody is listening"..I enjoy miracles on earth and I laugh at atheists stupidity.

    GOD IS WINNING

    You might as well get all that resentment out somewhere, I guess the Sunday Sing-A-Long Breakfast Theatre is as good a place as any.

    I think anyone who parades around acting like they know for sure god exists is an idiot and I think people who parade around acting like they know for sure god does not exist are also idiots. Nobody knows for sure, but I do believe in having faith. I like to think there is a loving God who created all of us and rewards us when we treat others with love. That really isn't so hard and it also feels good. I really don't care if I go to heaven or not but I do know that I feel a hell of a lot better on a day to day basis when I treat people with respect, love, and forgiveness instead of being a d******d negative ******* pissing on peoples dreams.

    i pray that you are rewarded with great heaps of rep for this, because it is clearly divinely inspired.

    Smoking weed has absolutely nothing to do with anything. I'm a Christian and I smoke. Though, I've been told I'm not a "real Christian" since I don't go to Church every Sunday. Where in the Bible does it say that? "Keep Holy The Sabbath" was a Saturday...

    I didn't say hope was derived from god. I said, we, by virtue of our conscious existence will be faced circumstances we judge to be positive or negative.Our lives are more more palatable if we visualize, contemplate and accentuate the more positive aspects and rationalize the more negative aspects. Given the one life that we know of, it is better to enjoy, love, achieve, help, improve and in general have a positive outlook that it is to brood, hate and fester in negativity.

    It is a given that a lot of bad things are going to happen to you, while you are not guaranteed any fulfillment. So it requires a conscious effort to maximize the potential of your experience. I don't care how you do it; pray, meditate, use positive visualization, or trip balls.


    Or don't , but I'll be hoping you do. Unicorns and rainbows baby. Rocket and Texan world Championships. Sex with two chicks.

    So it brings comfort but it's not "real?" Interesting.

    Perception is reality to the individual. And it is subject to change.




    That's why it takes peer review and repeatable results to define truth.

    I like it when Christians tell me that atheism requires more faith, because the Bible says faith is a virtue. Hooray!

    Suspension of disbelief is a defense mechanism in some cases.
