Comments on: One proof that there is no God http://backyardskeptics.com/wordpress Where humanists, rational thinkers, atheists and agnostics have a place to explore the world without religious dogma Wed, 30 Mar 2016 16:26:43 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.4.3 By: Bruce http://backyardskeptics.com/one-proof-that-there-is-no-god/#comment-7791 Sun, 22 Apr 2012 19:15:34 +0000 http://backyardskeptics.com/#comment-7791 Since prayers get ‘answered’ equally in all religions as well as the atheists ‘hopes’ then why pray? There is absolutely no proof that prayer works – anywhere.
And how exactly, do you REALLY KNOW that God knows so much more than we do? (please dont use any holy text) Maybe you believe in your definition of your God from scripture, which can be faulty, and which scripture should you follow? I think you will have to admit that you do not know if God has absolute knowledge, because you would have to have absolute knowledge to claim that!

Prayers can be answered in different ways, not just the way we prefer. God’s knowledge is so much more vast than ours. Prayer is a way for us to commune with God–like a child talking to his father. What seems to us to be unanswered prayer can be, in God’s grand tapestry, a means to a much greater good.

Have you read the book Evidence That Demands A Verdict by Josh McDowell? It has a very good treatment of the role of prayer in our lives.
