Re: Reasons why your prayers are not answered. |
This god fella must be narcissistic, pompous, conceited, ego-centered etc
etc, if he just wants to hear people heaping praises on him. If he is a
creator, as claimed by opium sedated zombies, then he should rescue his
subjects when they are in trouble, not ask them to sing his glory. Was this
god guy deaf to pleas for help when tsunamis, earthquakes and tornadoes
struck? Or was he waiting for somebody to sing his glory before he could
activate his super rescue powers?

See below for your answers.
"God is under no obligation to answer selfish prayers. (James 4:3)
Conversely, our prayers must seek to glorify God not us. God is under no
obligation to answer prayers that fail to give glory to God. (John 14:13;
II Corinthians 12:9-10). We may not even know what would bring God the
most e glory. (John 9:3)

What will remain forever imbedded in my memory as the ultimate example of
Xian stupidity is a picture I saw on TV about 10 years ago or so. A
commercial jet liner had crashed just after takeoff off the coast of Nova
Scotia, I believe. Everyone aboard was killed. The very next evening, a
horde of Xians assembled at the shore and held a candle-lit vigil/prayer
meeting. Here are a bunch of brainless yahoos thanking Gawd for killing
their kin and relatives in another wanton act of his "I'm the boss and I can
do anything" egotistical indiscriminately murderous persona.
The world's dictators must be green with envy over the un-rivaled success
Gawd has had in the fine art of brain-washing his obsequious subjects. Well,
Hitler came close.

Mrs Bush can be a counterbalance. For as in Chinese Ying Yang, the
balancing act may be in the Mrs. And when there is Ying Yang, there is
prosperity.
