OT: You never pray?
Paul Popinjay
injured? When your children come down with something that is so serious
that you fear for their coming out of it ok, do you just sit there and
worry? Do you go through your whole lives with no faith, never feeling so
alone and down that you never feel a want for help? Are you so cocky that
you think just because things have been ok so far that you'll never need
some extra help?
It's sad, but I'm too busy to feel sorry for you empty souless fucks. Maybe
I should, but I don't. It's your fucking problem.
And I still don't believe any of you who say that when death is eminent like
if you are falling from a tall building that you wouldn't call out to God to
help you. I know some of you say you wouldn't, but I think you would.

When someone is sick , I for one count on science to heal them , not some
imaginary "friend'. I , also don't feel alone cause I have no imaginary "friend"
to lean on . Plus I always have Tony Poopjoy!!
Your post is exactly the point to be made about the fallacy of the whole issue.
You were taught by those that fed and kept you safe ,(when you were a
child) that there was some imaginary "being" , that would watch over you. And if
I remember correctly , you are the one who said that if there were no
restrictions , that you would rape , and pilage peaceful people. (about 6 weeks
ago). If that is an example of what you learned .. I will pass . If that is what
your "faith" has done for you , you might want to re-examine. You got way to
much hate to be preaching "soul" to me !!

Not only that, but I'd spend a lot of time cursing those people who
"pray" because they spend an inordinate amount of time, money and effort
trying to STOP beneficial scientific progress that would probably help.
If my daughter should die prematurely of some cause that could have been
cured through stem cell research, then I'll know who to blame.

Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but if you believe God is willing
to help you, why not just pray for bad events to not happen in the first
place?
But to answer your question...yes. I worry. In 2005 a talented young surgeon
told me my wife did indeed have Stage 3 cancer and that "I didn't want to
know" her chances. No, I haven't prayed once. I have worried a lot. I do

I remember the thread, and you may be taking it out of contest. I think we
were talking about the moral issue behind our criminal code, and why we have
to have laws which essentially do legislate morality. That's obvious. If
it were legal to rob, rape, and pillage, there isn't a person on this
newsgroup who would not do all of those things if there were no legal
repercussions against such behavior, and you know it.

Draftees are a bunch of stupid fucks but I think it's an old chaplian saying,
not army saying.
When I was shelled I never had a foxhole, also never had a god to pray to.
Sometimes I had a really big gun I could load, sometimes I had a really fast
ship I could steer a heading of due East while somebody else loaded the really
big gun.
It's been my experience that people who do something in response to danger tend
to live longer than those whose preferred response is praying.

Old army bullshit. In my two years in Nam, it never occurred to me to
resort to prayer. That includes more than one firefight in the An Khe

And in our base camp of roughly 1200 men, the chapel used to get huge

Funny you should ask as my best friend is experiencing being in Stage
4 of a terminal cancer and he happens to be a christian and knows I'm
not. Rather than desperate hope, I provided what I thought to be
sound encouragement and help in decision making over his treatment.
Futhermore, I supported him in his own prayers if that belief gave him
any positive hope of being cured. Now, I wouldn't really call myself
an atheist, but I'm certain that Christianity is bullshit.
�When your children come down with something that is so serious

I'm more of a believer in taking action rather than sitting around
hoping some god will answer a wish.

Everyone gets down occasionally, but I've gone through enough life to
know that you are the only one who can help yourself and the quicker
you do it, the better.

That type of cockiness comes from the experience of having dealt with

1. I don't blame any atheist in a desperate situation who grasps at
any straws no matter how unlikely.
2. Simply because one calls out hope for a god, doesn't mean that god
exists.
3. I'm living proof of someone being capable of dealing with a deadly
situation and not calling out to god. Deadly situations happen so
fast you really don't have time to think...just time to act.

The vast majority of atheists would ensure they get medical
attention. What do you do, troll?

If "no faith" means we don't believe in invisible supernatural beings,
we are guilty. Feeling alone or down or needing may or may not happen
in anyone's life regardless of belief in fairy tales.

You are the only cocky dipshit in the conversation. You actually
believe that some invisible being will help you.
There is no evidence that "extra help" arrives in the form of
supernatural forces. Unless you mean that idiot's tapestry that
helped him win at poker for an hour.
> It's sad, but I'm too busy to feel sorry for you empty souless fucks. Maybe

I'm sure no one gives a shit what you feel. Is not believing in Baal
or Hera or the Flying Spaghetti Monster "your fucking problem"?

A lot of people fell from a tall building on 9/11. I'm sure many of
them probably called out to this "god" you mention.
How many did he save? Why did your god ignore their pleas? In the
Katrina disaster, how many people died in the stifling heat of their
attics calling out to Jeebus for help? Why were they ignored?
>I know some of you say you wouldn't, but I think you would.
They can call out to god or spiderman or the great pumpkin.
None would save them.
I know you are trolling, but are you really this stupid?

sociopathic. I would sure hate to be a parent in your neighborhood.You also keep
coming back to people in fear for their life , turning to prayer? If your God
really exists , do you think he is gullible enough to be ignored by people like
you , until they need something, and then he would help someone only they turn
to him , in dire need? I doubt it !! By the way, if you belive there is a God ,
then he is monitoring your vile thoughts of harming children. Or would you only
rape grown-ups?

They then asked what he prayed for?

When my mom was dying, I thought about my mom. I thought about what
she had done for me and for my brother and how she got a few months of
remission in the same house as her great-granddaughter. It took up my
time. I was sad but I was proud of my mom and happy that she had those
good months and I knew that I was going to inherit her '1$% cat. But
that worked out too. If mom knows how well WooToo and I are taking
care of each other, it makes her happy. If not, we still do the best
we can. I had my hands full comforting my brother and niece and nephew
and being comforted. We did all right without god.

I have been shot. I saw the dumb fuck, who had been waving his piece
around and missing eveyone else in the store take a good Weaver stance
in the doorway and point that thing right at me. I knew I was going to
be hit and I knew that ducking would just mean I got hit in the head.
I didn't think once about god. I thought about the woman I was living
with, and my mom and about not having finished the story I was
reading. The round went in the point of my shoulder and broke my
collarbone and I still didn't think about god. When the nice lady at
Yale New Haven Hospital gave me a shot of percoset, I was grateful,
but not to god.
I had been shot at quite a bit, years earlier, and I never thought
about god then. I did think about _a_ god but I didn't literally
believe that a god had spoken to Arjuna in a chariot. I just liked the
story and it helped me do the things I needed to do that year.
When the woman I was living with in the early Seventies stabbed me, I
didn't think about god.

You can pray or you can do, once you're done doing all you can do, go
do something else. The day i pray and see a benefit from it, is the
day i believe that god just did me a favor so that in the future he
can make me an offer i can't refuse.

Will, maybe you should give "god" a chance ... some things just don't seem
to be going well for you.
Of course, I am kidding. I don't do "god" almighty any more myself.
However, if you change the definitions a little, like god=love, I can be
persuaded that such a god might be worth my while.
If one says god is good ... then someone who worships "good" is not such a
bad sort ... and god demands retribution might be okay in certain
circumstances. The problem, as I see it, is that I cannot separate my
current thought processes from my past thought processes. Sure, they

When my mother was diagnosed with lung cancer, I went to visit her.
When I found out how bad it was, I immediately came home and took my
daughter to visit her. Then I went back for her last week. I didn't
pray. I avoided getting upset with relatives who gave me books
suggesting it was God's plan.

Do you mean like when someone jumps out of an airplane and hopes the chute
packed by someone else wasn't packed when he was drunk, or like when
someone points a rifle at you at pointblank range and demands that you
give back the knife that you just took away from him, or like when someone
is traversing a cliff face with a 30 pound pack and it turns out the rock
is rotten and you've got 90 feet of air below you, or like when you face
off eight or nine street hoodlums at two in the morning with a butterfly
knife on some mud "street" in Southeast Asia that has a bare bulb
"streetlight" about every 100 yards, or like when the national police of
that same shithole country draw a bead on you with their rifle because you
won't give them the money they asked for or try to walk into a bar they're
shaking down?
WTF would someone pray to "God"? Only an idiot would do that.

You better pray for Superman!! Like when he caught "whats her name " in the
first movie. When he says "I got you" , and she says , "who's got you"? And if
there was a God , would he not have made at least one of the planes miss the
buildings? Or maybe , he would have gotten the TSA people in Logan Airport to

Hey doggystyle, I don't want to talk with you anymore. Your tales of
ripping off Neteller, IGM-Pay, and Party Poker, just because you could get
away with it, demonstrate to me your weak and immoral character. Also, I
feel that continuing to give you credibility by continuing dialogue with you
could be a bad message to the millions of young people on RGP who look to
Paul Popinjay as a role model for moral encouragement. I don't want to
associate with your bad character. Thanks, and may God have mercy on you.

If you think God is going to keep you alive in a situation like that you
really are deluded. Anyway, if there's a heaven and the God who lives
there created you why is it so important to stay alive?
Don't you think it would be a better idea to think rationally and not
elect a moron to the White House who ignores memos that say, "Bin Laden

I can't think of a better argument against Intelligent Design than your

Prayer makes a lot of people feel better. That's helpful in a
similar way that taking sugar pills instead of actual medicine can
make sometimes people feel better. The fact that prayer can be
beneficial doesn't prove anything regarding the actual existence of
God.
The fact that I sucked out with quad 8s on the river the other night,
however, provides strong evidence of the existence of poker gods.

So, what if you did? It would prove nothing other than that the
person felt desperate. When someone is desperate, they might be
willing to try anything, even when they have little hope that it will
actually help.

Oh, so now you're trying to have a discussion with me? But regarding the

Pepe, please don't reply to anymore of my posts. I have concluded that you
are very young, and therefore you lack the life experience to give any
significance to your opinions. And I don't have the patience. Run along,
your parents are probably worried about you.

Frankly, I would guess that as I fell I would be asking Him to watch over
the loved ones that I am about to leave behind. It's pretty hard to tell as
I sit here before this keyboard, but that's what I think I would be asking
of Him at that moment, and to forgive me for all the things I've done wrong.
Risky, I'm getting some pretty shallow vibes from you right now, man.

Speaking of shallow, why wait until imminent death before asking for
forgiveness?
Besides, it's silly to ask him to "watch over" your loved ones. You've
already posited that your god is going to do whatever he wants to do,
so your prayers are wasted.

Hell, if I jumped from the 91st floor I'd be smart enough to enjoy my last
moments on earth and would regret having to jump from such a low altitude.
Maybe you've never jumped out of an airplane in which case you would have
no idea.
It's nice to be concerned about loved ones but asking someone or something
which doesn't exist to take care of them seems to me to be misdirected
concern.
No one can forgive you for your wrongs other than the one wronged. If they
didn't forgive you you're going to the grave with it.

What is prayer but a plea to god to drop whatever he's doing, freeze
time if he must and upend the immutable laws of nature just to
help .... ME ME ME ! That's kind of an imposition, don't you think? So
you'd best save your prayers for things that god thinks are really
important. NOT when you're falling out of a very tall building. God's
usually too busy for that. And certainly not to grow new limbs for
amputees (gosh but wouldn't that be useful hey Big Fella?).
No. Save your prayers for important things. Like football games!
And .. oh yeah ... war ! Before every war!
Actually, it's funny but even devout folks don't usually pray to
almighty god to do superalmighty things. Do you know why? For
instance, there's a ship out in the North Atlantic, cracked in half,
and it's sinking, and you have to pray for the crew. Think of all the
things the almighty could do. He could swoop down and superalmighty
glue it! He could turn everybody into seals so they could survive
eating fish and swimming around in freezing water for a few weeks. He
could pick up the whole ship and crew and set them down safely in
Omaha, fercrissakes! But nobody'd pray to the Big Dude to do any of
those really cool almighty things. No, they'd pray for something
simple. As simple as from their mind to god's mind to somebody else
mind can possibly be. Like maybe for some other ship captain not too
far away to suddenly get the idea to steam to latitude-longitude
miracle. Yeah, that might work. God could do that. If he's not too
busy minding the universe, or watching the Army-Navy game, or
something.

I'm sorry your memory is failing you, as you seem to be having trouble

Apparently, your judgment isn't nearly as good as you think it is.
And even if you were correct about my age, it would be utterly
irrelevant to the validity of the point I made in my previous post.
That's what's known as the ad hominem fallacy.
