Dear God

Would you PLEASE end this long running online feud btwn my friends Longweekend and Bobby as well as Last Nail. I know that I'm expecting a miracle here .. but it's ever so tiresome and I hate being caught up in the middle all the time. Amen

PS Please expedite this request.

The mere fact that God never answers this prayer and others like it is more proof that your god does not exist Wink

Excuse me .. how do you know that God isn't already answering this prayer Mr Last Nail?

it does get old, I admit. The reason that it continues is that neither of these dimwtis have half the integrity or intelligence necessary to move on. It doesnt seem to occur to them that I am not Catholic either - despite being repeatedly told so. What really ensures it continues is that both these boneheads insist on occupying positions on topics that are well beyond ludicrous. You have experienced the breathtaking stupidity of toenail (and pansi) on the subject of real estate so you know what I mean. These three are little different from PRevailing but without the mental illness excuse he has. You cannot get a credible or reasonable response from any of them on any topic. 'debating' with them on any topic is like shooting fish in a barrel.

so when are you going to move on and stop replying to these threads ??

I know I can't really answer for and on behalf of Longweekend .. but in all fairness .. he has the right to reply in any thread of his choosing.

Incidentally .. that same right (and freedom) extends to the rest of us Last Nail.

Or it may be that God is using these very same people to teach YOU the invaluable lessons of patience and forbearance Mr Longweekend.

Perhaps true. But Im certainly not learning any facts from these dim bulbs!

For the same reason that god never calls the fire brigade

1) God is defined as being omnipotent, omniscient, and morally perfect.
(see the definition at http://www.bartleby.com/61/21/G0172100.html)

2) An omniscient God would know of every house fire in the world.

3) An omnipotent God would be able to call the fire department when he saw a house fire.

4) A morally perfect God would call the fire department when he saw a house fire.

5) God never calls the fire department.

6) Therefore God doesn't exist.

If an all knowing omniscient God knows the future then how do us mere mortals have the power to change it ?? Where is our free will to change a predefined future ??

As it so happens .. the Bible canvasses this very same issue (the issue of tempting Jesus to PROVE His power).

Matthew 4

After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry.

The devil came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.”

Jesus answered, “It is written: Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.”

Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple.

“If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down. For it is written:

He will command his angels concerning you,
and they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.

Jesus answered him, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’

you need some new material. Your agruments are fallacious as you only look at 0.00000001% of the argument and use that to determine your belief. In your ridiculous argument a God that answered every prayer in the positive bar this one 'wouldnt exist'.

your logic is false and so is your approach. And it will always be so until you actually seek the TRUTH or an ANSWER. for now, all you are doing is defending a position with no interest whatsoever if your beleif is true or not.

God reveals Himself to EVERYONE who genuinely seek Him. It has always been the case and always will be. When you genuinely seek answers (and miracles) they will be provided. But for now, all you seek is argument and deabting your own position with zero regard for truth.

Your morally perfect god never ever calls the fire brigade and allows people to burn to death Sad
