Why Won't God Answer My Prayers.

[Zeno]

I prayed for a blowjob from a vivacious red haired big breasted babe but so far - nada.

I prayed for peace in the world but so far - nada.

I prayed that political posts would disappear from the Other Topics Forum but so far - nada.

I prayed to flop a flush at NL hold'em but so far - nada.

I prayed asking God to answer my prayers but so far - nada.

I prayed that on my next fly-fishing trip I would hook and land a 3 lbs cutthroat trout but so far - nada.

I prayed to God that no one would believe in him anymore but so far – nada.

I prayed to God asking Him to send everyone to Heaven regardless of their beliefs but so far - nada.

If God provides no answers, why should Bush or Kerry?

I then prayed to God about who to vote for, Bush or Kerry, and received an answer.

Bush is Better said God.

Argue with that all you political junkies and pundits!

Because you have not sent me 10% of your income to learn the Truth and the Light and the One True Path to enlightenment. Start sending money and I'll start issuing Bulls and Edicts and Indulgences and Fatwas and the like to save your soul.

If we may agree that God is either stupid, evil, or non-existent, what may we assume about His endorsement of a presidential candidate?

[Abednego]

God always answers prayer. His answer may not be the one you want but listen carefully for, "Yes," "No," or "Wait."

"Bush is Better said God."

Maybe he was responding to the first thing you prayed for.

[elwoodblues]

Just because God's answer wasn't yes, doesn't mean there wasn't an answer.

If you have faith (or even an uncertain faith as I do) pray to God to help you develop the strength to deal with the challenges you might face in life. In other words, don't look to God as some sort of "cellestial butler".

Good point, Rick.

On a broader note, I think people typically (and perhaps unavoidably) too narrowly define "God".

It is very easy to define God as something impossible, like a philosophical paradox. Yet if there is God, God is probably beyond our ability to define anyway.
