God is imaginary
Time to have another look at the youtube vid, which was originally posted by gammaburst. This video caused a great deal of discomfort for the Christian side, as it forces them to confront the stark truth about their religion. If you really want to know why, GP13 and HOM, and IBIJ have been unable to show that Christianity is more valid than Milk, then watch this video.

Re: God is imaginary
This jug of milk thing is a re-run from 8 or 10 months ago. I posted my response to it then, So I feel entitled to post it again.
 
Speaking of illusions, the person who created that video illustrating his point against the power of prayer by comparing God with a jug of milk must be dealing from a real short deck.

In the real world there is a natural order of things, there are the laws of nature, the laws of cause and effect, the moral laws of God and many other laws that control our lives. Everyone knows that in this life of ours we have to ask to receive. The definition of prayer is asking, an earnest request, a petition etc. It is common knowledge in the world of business and our personal lives we have to ask to receive, we have to knock for the door to open, we have to seek to find.

If we need a loan to buy a house, we ask a banker. The banker can say yes, no or wait. We call the doctor and ask for an appointment, he can say yes, no, or wait. We ask our wife for sex, she answers yes, no, or wait. These answers are not unique in this world of ours. I have heard it many times, but I have never heard it from a jug of milk.

When ever we need something in this life we have to ask someone who has the power to give it to us. If we want a loan we ask a banker, if our car won't start we ask a mechanic, if we are sick we ask a doctor, if we want a miracle we ask God. They all have the power to say yes, no, or wait. Except a jug of milk, all it has the power to do is hold a gallon of milk or be used as an illogical illustration.

Re: God is imaginary
Jesus Christ Man!
 
Are you saying i could skip the middle man, Banker ,Doctor,Mechanic,and just ask god .Then , yes no or wait. Its all the Same? Could i save a few bucks and pray that my motor cycles blown head gasket, is healed.That would be a miracle. Or will he,she only concider healing my brain tumor. I know i have prayed for a decent sub contractor, HELLO! still waiting.
 
I will not be subverted into thinking that a carton can answer anyones prayers. A carton is only 7 days away from sourcream! And then...Yogurt!
A Carton is a false idol and a abomination . The Jug is the only way to store/praise milk.

Re: God is imaginary
Hi GRRRR
 
Just because you don't like an answer it does not therefore become a non-answer.
 
Hi Doorman
 
You are correct, this site has made milk an idol in the way it handles it in conversation. To each there choice and all choices do indeed have consequences.
 
Happy Sabbath

There is an Irish saying that says, "If you are going to pray for potatoes, you had better buy a hoe."

Re: God is imaginary
I agree. You have to work hard to learn how to appreciate life. Then the concept of god falls away and you enjoy that sunset at your cottage.

..A 'semi, out-of-control' statement, 'DS'. Next stop, for
your 'ilk-of-mindset'..{'imho'}.. A 'merciful'..{befitting,

Gee... I read somewhere once "judge not lest ye be judged." -- Feel free to correct my error, but isn't this exactly what Hmmmmm just did to DS?

Re: God is imaginary
A person once advised a Born-Again Christian that "God may help you, but He hardly ever uses His own money".
Another stood at the Spring of Lourdes, regarding the impressive pile of discarded crutches, and asked "But where are the artificial limbs and glass eyes"?
