Persistence in Prayer

“Persistence in prayer pleases God.” Phil Star, May 3, 2008. Obviously, this only proves that God is not all that powerful or all that kind and merciful or all that thoughtful. In fact, it proves that God is really a cold-blooded perfection lost in self-admiration always desperate for affection via endless attention. Poch Suzara

unggok, that does not prove anything about god but your anthromorphological interpretation of god.

Whatever the case may be my dear anonymous, God is neither here nor there or anywhere. In fact, so obvious, God is always omni-absent; never omni-present. Poch Suzara

What I'd like to know from the person who claims "persistence in prayer pleases God" is how s/he knows this. What method did he employ? Was he just parroting somebody else? Did he just read it from some ancient text, and if so how did the author of that text know that the claim is true? Or is it that he merely believes in it and wishes it to be true? Until the epistemological question is answered then the claim is unsupported and unsubstantiated.

And so it is for all theological claims. The query "How do you know that is true?" will invariably expose the absence of a valid epistemic grounding for the belief.
