What If the Power of Prayer Works
If prayer works, how come we must only continue to pray on and on endlessly? Indeed, if prayer works, then we should see great and wonderful result with Filipinos no longer busy praying; specially as we are the only Christian people in all of Asia.
Indeed, if prayer works, we should already see the results in the Philippines. We should have no more need to build more hospitals. Our country should be the most "blessed" country in all of Asia with health and wealth. Is this the Philippines we see? Never mind what your blind faith sees! It sees nothing!
And so, I ask: how come by any standard of living and thinking, other NON-CHRISTIAN countries in Asia are ahead of the Philippines - economically, politically, scientifically, technologically, culturally, and, indeed, spiritually?
Of course, let's not be too unfair. Let's be happy and proud of the Consuelo de Bobo: when it comes to corruption here, there, and everywhere; when it comes to sins against God; when it comes to crimes against our own country - we are quite successful and way ahead of everybody in Asia and in the world at large.
I said it before, I say it again: Hijos de tootie-frootie-y patooties, Conio! Mga kababayan, GISING NA TAYO! Nakakahiya na itong kalechehan at kababuyan natin! Poch Suzara Facebook# Atheists# Twitter# Google#

“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him." -Jesus
Ken, Can you really believe that God
had to inspire dumbstruck authors to write down such silly messages in the bible to be read as REVEALED TRUTH? Cheers! Poch
Poch, I don't accept the premise of your question. We expect rational people to accept recorded history (i.e., the Bible) and not arbitrarily reject it just because it is not what they want to believe. You make a lot of moral claims in your posts, but in a non-biblical worldview there is no foundation for making any moral claim whatsoever. That is, as a non-Christian, you cannot rationally claim that anything is corrupt or immoral , or that anyone has ever done anything wrong. The concepts of "right" and "wrong" are meaningless in an atheistic universe because there can be no objective universal standard - only personal, subjective opinions.
