while i'm very highly antirreligious (it gives me hives), let me just say, no mature practitioner of a serious religion (sounds like 2 oxymorons together, right?) would ever do that.

in other words, that's how 7 year olds pray-- the criticism doesn't apply to grownups. ALL 7 year olds are fucking crackers.

That is not how you pray. And that is not what you pray for. You don't pray for selfish things like bigger tits. No wonder you don't believe in god if that's the shit you ask him for.

I talk to god like a companion. I ask that he will help me be a good woman to others because that makes me feel better than doin shit for me. Evereytime I have asked him for something important he HAS ANSWERED. That's why I believe.

your logic would be perfect except for the fact that a lot of retard "adults" in america do it too. my grandma TOLD me she prays for me for fucksake.

Everyone, including you, lives in a fairytale world. "Invalid" ideas are part of being alive. I thought you called yourself an instrumentalist?

Maybe she loves you! I prayed for you too!

Me? I can't play an instrument. I can't sing either.

The reason I called fairytales "valuable" is because they make great bedtime reading for 5 year olds. No great extrapolation there.

isms and schisms

if i want something i'm not going to sit around and go "pweeeese jeebus help meeeee"

i'm gonna go fuckin' get it.

And you should! God does not like sloth. He does not expect you to sit on yr ass asking him for shit like you do yr mommy. You bust yr ass fr what you want and trust that he will make sure you end up there if it is what is supposed to be.

When I say he has given me things I asked for I mean my husband of 11 yrs, my job and other things. But I snapped and asked him for an answer to these and he answered the next day. Like a true miracle. I worked hard to get there but he nudged me the rest of the way.

Then I am glad you agree.

In fact I think the number of ways in which the concept of God changes from one "bedtime reading for 5 years olds" to another reveals how "God" is nothing more than a metaphysical tool.

Or try and fail to get it.

believe me, if i want something it's going to be mine.

Like my cock, Satan?

you read my mind

thanks but no thanks

kindly keep me out of that mess

Too bad it's done

that's what i said to my grandma

bet you didn't see that one coming

I see alot
