Ask God for the kind of help you know he will provide.
Here is an example of how God works.
10 guys, 10 horses
All ten want to win and pray accordingly.
God does not usually interfere in this instance because he would be
ruining someones dream.
so where is the profit with God ? (( hehe multilevel hidden reference to
prophet ))
Ok, this is where JESUS helps routinely although God will deliver the lock
of the century on rare occasions.
Jesus will help you pick the right horse BEFORE the race.
All the bettors are prayin like crazy as they hustle into the stretch.
TOOO LATE
PRAYER that involves you being a better you involves participation.
See, when God helps you before the race it's like insurance. Everyone else
who picks the same horse wins a teeny bit less because they share the pool
with you. God is not greatly impacting the others.
If you want God to make your horse win in the stretch you are asking him
to impact others greatly. God does not like this. Ask for help making
decisions.
Lets pretend you married a woman from another country only to realize you
were set up on numerous levels. I could ask God to hit them all with
meteors. You could ask that they all die immediately in all sorts of ways
that would please you.
The problem is that these people unfortunately have other purposes. What I
would do is hope that they learn. Learning just what one has done wrong is
a whole lot more intense than most are willing to accept. If someone sins
against you they will pay. Pray that God will teach them NOW.
Thank God and my Dad that most of my sins were correctable for a fee.
Just pray for help understanding things. The more that you understand God,
the more he can give you.

I disagree. Do you think that it takes faith to believe that gravity
works every single time without an intelligent being telling
everything when to fall?

This is a reasonable argument (though speculative). However, given
that we live in this universe with these natural laws, evolution is
not at all a miraculous process. Perhaps there are countless other
universes with slightly different natural laws that do not contain
life.

Einstein certainly did not believe in God as described by any of the
major religions. I don't know about Hawking, and I don't really know
exactly what you're claiming he and Einstein said. There's a big
difference between speculating about a possible deity and actually
being confident that such a deity exists.

I wasn't trying to disprove evolution. Simply, that it takes faith to
believe any of my examples and millions of even better ones evolved on
their own, without an intelligent creator involved.
I agree that evolution does exist, and was designed by a creator to
help the creation adapt to its changing enviroment. I also believe in
a "big bang" as used by a creator to get the ball rolling so to
speak. This of course, is a far cry from the universe falling into
place accidently, without some sort of intelligent creator at the
helm.
I believe you will find Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking both
believe in this idea, to one degree or another. I wouldn't count
either of these men as ignorant or dellusional, would you?...

Yes, and the mosquito evolved to drink blood efficiently as well. Do
you really believe that the millions of scientists who support the
theory of evolution are just waiting for somebody to point out the
butterfly as a counter-example to realize that their life's work has
been a mirage?

Regardless of whether atheism takes a leap of faith, evolution does
not. All that is required to believe in evolution is sufficient
familiarity with the facts. By the way, most Christians worldwide
accept evolution as the best explanation for the observed evidence.

I have to agree with Clave to some degree. I believe it takes a
GREATER leap of faith to believe the complex human being, and the
environment that supports this fragile human life just evolved from
amebas or lucosites floating around in the ocean.
Really?.... The butterfly evolved perfectly to morf from a
catapillar? The dolphin just miraculously evolved sonar to find food
hundreds of miles away? The desert frog evolved perfectly to
hibernate for months or years while locked in a dried clump of dirt
until it rains again? Let's not get started about how the universe is
expanding perfectly so as to not implode upon itself, or the dwarf
star we call our sun is the perfect temperature, with the earth
positioned a perfect distance from it to sustain such fragile life.
Now that being said, please don't mistake my belief in a creator as an
endorsement of the myriad religions being sold to the ignorant masses
today. Men have used the ignorant and uneducated people's belief in a
God to enrich themselves and gain unchecked power since the beginning
of time. So, in a nutshell, yes, atheism is as much a leap of faith
as theism, but it's just as much a leap of faith (or ignorance) to
believe any of the religions on earth today serve God or teach his
plan for humankind. My humble opinion, of course...

I have to agree with Clave to some degree. I believe it takes a
GREATER leap of faith to believe the complex human being, and the
environment that supports this fragile human life just evolved from
amebas or lucosites floating around in the ocean.
***
It takes zero leap of faith.
There is large amounts of evidence in evolution.
Further, there is an incredible amount of simulation showing complexity
arising under catalystic conditions, with it not only being possible but
probable.
Go google the Santa Fe Institute.
***
Really?.... The butterfly evolved perfectly to morf from a
catapillar? The dolphin just miraculously evolved sonar to find food
hundreds of miles away? The desert frog evolved perfectly to
hibernate for months or years while locked in a dried clump of dirt
until it rains again? Let's not get started about how the universe is
expanding perfectly so as to not implode upon itself, or the dwarf
star we call our sun is the perfect temperature, with the earth
positioned a perfect distance from it to sustain such fragile life.
***
You're SUPPOSED to be a poker player.
We're here. If life were extremely improbable, and we're here to talk about
it, then the improbable happened.
NOTHING evolved overnight. Things changed little by little. Skin spots
sensitive to uv radiation evolved eventually into eyes, small adaptions in
some creatures led to adaptions in both their predators and their prey.
Life is a complex system, and everything effects everything ELSE in the
system.

Um, no. Not unless you're one of those leap-of-faith atheists who believe
NO GOD EXISTS.
Talking to GOD, whatever you percieve him to be -- hairy thunderer or cosmic
muffin, is harmless and cathartic. More people should do it, IMO.
Fewer people should believe that GOD is engaging them in conversation.

So none of you want to bother yourselves enough to look up what strong
atheism even means.
Not my problem.

Strong Atheism Explained
Strong Atheism is the proposition that we should not suspend judgment about
the non-existence of a god or gods. More extensively, it is a positive
position against theistic values, semantics and anti-materialism, a rational
inquiry in the nature of religious thought, a new way of thinking about
religious and spiritual issues.
I repeat, the leap of faith remains with the religionists.

I have no strong belief in the nonexistence of God. There may be a
Creator.
However, I have zero doubt that the Christian "God" does not exist, or
is not worthy of the name "God." Christians (and for that matter
Muslims) are simply wrong. Their God does not exist, and if He did
exist, would be a piece of shit.

A novel idea - it requires faith *not* to believe in God.

Not novel at all if you don't rearrange my words. The currently-fashionable
term for it is "strong atheism", and it requires just as much of a leap of
faith as any theism.

If you were talking about strong atheism as opposed to atheism, you
should have said so. Nevertheless, I disagree with your assertion
that it requires just as much of a leap of faith as theism.
Strong atheists base their beliefs on evidence and logic. They
remain open to their position being disproven. This differs
significanly from most theists.

Your inability/unwillingness to accurately parse English sentences is
becoming something of a trademark of yours.

Jimbo, are you and pepe staging this fight because everyone thought you two

You're on the retard side of this one. You were on the retard side of the
last one. It looks obvious you're getting the "moron" side to fight.

So you can't parse English either. Funny, I wouldn't think you'd be so
proud of it.

Shithead, you're simply wrong.
That's nothing new for you, of course.
If you limit the definition of "God" to what most people mean by it, a
supreme being capable of intervening and violating known physical laws,
asserting there isn't one is completely rational and requires no faith in
anything.
So long as you are willing to abandon it, should a counter-example be
provided.
Can a physical partical accellerate past light speed? No. This is a rational
answer based on all available science, and requires no faith at all. It's
supported by overwhelming evidence. And if evidence arises that somehow
invalidates it, we'll all change our view in the face of it.
Your total lack of thinking ability is long established.
Go back to posting about how Clinton's impeachment was a civil crime.

You poor, pompous ass.
Trying to score rhetorical points here won't work because a) you're too
ignorant to see your mistake, and b) too fucking pig-headed to admit it even
if you did have the capacity to recognize it.

Jimbo, you've already demonstrated that all applies to you in the
Impeachment thread.
You don't know what the fuck you're talking about here, either.

There's no mistake here.
Of course, in your case, it's "when shown you fucked up royally, run away
and pretend it didn't happen"
Denying an interventionist god requires NO faith in anything.
So long as you're willing to repudiate said belief in the face of evidence.
You cannot prove a negative. You can get so much evidence that a
counterexample becomes an extremely low probability.

Good point except that it's completely wrong. Strong atheist is
simply not based on a leap of faith. Any resemblance to the type of
faith required for theism is virtually nil.

No, shithead.
THIS would be a classic definition of the term :
Strong Atheism is the proposition that we should not suspend judgment about
the non-existence of a god or gods. More extensively, it is a positive
position against theistic values, semantics and anti-materialism, a rational
inquiry in the nature of religious thought, a new way of thinking about
religious and spiritual issues.
Of course "Classic" is a relative term, given the term is quite recent.
The "strong" and "weak" groups did not come into common usage until the
early 1990s, their popularization assisted by their common usage in the
alt.atheism Usenet group at the time

You yourself took it to mean that, dumbass. Have some fucking self-
respect and own your own words.
I'm not talking code here, Chumley. I meant exactly what I said, and you
fucked up the reading because you were careless. Or maybe you really just
don't know what the words mean. I don't care.
I said something quite clear, and you want (need, now) to pretend I meant
something else to cover up your own sloppy, reflexive reading skills and
cravenly juvenile inability to admit error.
Your laughably weak appeal to "most rational people" is a pretty clear
indicator that you're out of rational things to say yourself.

Fraid so, stomp your little feets and "La-la-la" with your fingers in your
ears all you want -- that seems to be what you're best at.
Strong atheism is the specific affirmation that no gods exist, which is
exactly what I said.

No, you didn't mean what you typed. You meant what you thought, which
DOESN'T automatically follow from what you typed.

No, shithead. You said something that nearly 100% of sane rational people
would interpret the way everyone else interpreted it, then you bullshitted
your "strong atheism" crap to cover your stupidity.

Nope, retard.
I GAVE you the definition.
You KNOW it's right and it shows you're a retard, because you REMOVED it.
Here it is again, moron :
Strong Atheism is the proposition that we should not suspend judgment about

Yep, you're a shit for brains.
It sets the bar for strong atheism FAR ABOVE where you claim it needs to be
for your sentence to MEAN sttrong atheism.

I understand my cite fine.
YOU don't.
But then, you fuck up so often.
Did you even read what you linked to, shithead?
Read THIS, just for example :
Because of flexibility in the term "god", it is understood that a person
could be a strong atheist in terms of certain portrayals of gods, while
remaining a weak atheist in terms of others.
That line alone means your statement shouldn't be assumed to mean a fucking
thing CLOSE to what you claimed it did.
Now go reread what the strong atheism website says it means
Now read your Wikipedia cite some more, shithead :
The distinction between strong and weak atheism is one of several applied to
beliefs about the existence or nonexistence of gods. It is similar in ways
to the popularly held conception of "atheists" and "agnostics," in which
atheism has generally been considered an active disbelief in gods, except by
starting instead with the broader definition of atheism which includes any
absence of belief in gods and thus encompasses some forms of agnosticism
(see agnostic atheism). Accordingly, the division between "strong" and
"weak" atheism functions to separate atheism as a disbelief in gods from
forms of atheism that fall short of this, and which could simultaneously be
characterized as agnosticism. The validity of this categorisation is
disputed, however, and a few prominent atheists such as Richard Dawkins
avoid it. In The God Delusion Dawkins describes people for whom the
probability of the existence of God is between "very high" and "very low" as
"agnostic" and reserves the term "strong atheist" for "I know there is no
god". He categorises himself as a "de facto atheist" but not a "strong
atheist" under this definition.[2]
So you've got differing interpretations as to exactly what the term means.

It says, "Strong atheism is the explicit affirmation that gods do not
exist."
Excatly what I said it was.

Shithead, that isn't the strong atheism web site.

Shithead,
That isn't all that it said.
I cited MORE than enough from your link to show you're a clueless shit for
brains on this topic too.
Get someone with at least half a brain to read it to you and explain it,
since you're clearly too fucking stupid to grasp it.

Some of us in seattle.politics founded a support group some years back for
people who get involved in threads with fuckhead trolls like Beldin -- On

Wait. I know some translations of the bible call jesus "the son of god"
but I thought it was more literally that jesus is supposed to be the
embodiment of god himself on earth, not really his "son". Also, will
somebody tell me why Joseph was such a pussy that he got married, never
consumated his marriage, his wife got pregnant ("no honey, it was god, I
swear it wasn't a centurion, I swear") and then didn't divorce her ass?

You've persuaded me, Skillz. I obviously didn't understand all the
implications of Christianity. Now I do. My new friend God and I are
going to the racetrack. Whoo-hoo!
