BTW, IBIG, could you pray to your gods concerning healing peripheral neuropathy?

I'm sure your prayers would do the trick and I promise to praise your gods of choice if I am healed.

But see, that's why God WON'T do it.

He wants you to believe, not know.  Knowing that he exists removes the belief that he feeds on.

See, apparently IBIG doesn't know theology as well as he thinks he does and he doesn't believe in God.  According to IBIG, he KNOWS God exists.  That's not belief buddy.

You don't have a relationship with God.  He doesn't want you because you KNOW he exists instead of believing he exists.

That's the point of my question to you.  If you pray for something and it happens then you LOSE YOUR FAITH in God, by definition.

God shouldn't answer any prayer, because that would be a tactic admission that He exists.  So why bother praying?

BTW: You don't pray to have a personal relationship with God.  You pray to get a benefit or as a public display of personal faith and piety.

'Bout sums it up.
