Wow! Another athesist with an old but witty comment. There really is no way to vote on this post because it is true and untrue. God never said don't work hard. The prayers are for what we can't do like drive all the way over to Haiti to help people. We pray, hope that those people will be alright. If God scares you than you don't have to bleieve in him. What gives you the right to put people who do believe down?

Yeah, well, he's not implying that God scares him and by just assuming it and by putting HIM down by asking him why he's putting other people down is just unfair. He's just asking if he's right. Which is what everyone on the website is doing. I know you're just stating your opinion and you're probably a religious person but assuming someone else's beliefs without evidence is all wrong. As you may have guessed I'm also an Atheist, but it doesn't affect my opinion which is 'you have no right to judge another person', even if it is on a sensitive topic such as religion. On another note, I agree with TheRomanianAssasin, if a person, let's say fly to Haiti or maybe even just collect clothes or supplies or donations and puts it toward the cause, it'll probably do a lot more than praying. Praying could help, don't get me wrong. There's also the Law of Attraction that is probably related to praying.

(IsaidThat.): Your post just said he was putting them down. I never put him down, just in his place. :-P And also you contradict yourself. You say I have no right to judge but DANG did you do some judgementaizing there dude! LOL

Ooooh here we go. I never said that some religious people don't work hard, but you are only contradicting yourself. If you really cared that much, you WOULD go down there yourself and contribute to the relief effort instead of praying. Praying will do nothing but waste 5 minutes of your life. Second of all, God does not scare me, the fact that millions of people believe in him scares me. It makes me wonder if we will ever be able to overcome this pandemic that we call religion.

Your post implies what you are arguing about. Dang, are all atheists as dumb as you? I said prayer is for people who can't do but hope........ Man, if I could take time off, had the ability, them money and the know how I would. God does scare you. You just admitted that millions who believe in God scares you. Therefore God scares you. Unless you are one of those people who can't stand others enjoying themselves.

(IsaidWhat?): Wow. You obviously misunderstood the message. The belief in God by millions of people scares me because it shows how dumb our society has become. Your reasoning is not very good. Neither is your arguement. The whole idea of this post is that praying will do nothing. Yet, all you do is state that it will, with absolutely no reasoning.

But hey, don't get me wrong, everyone is entitled to their beliefs, I am merely stating my own. You have to hear both sides of the story to reach a verdict, right?

You're such a hypocrite. You just blasted me for defending others beliefs.

by Anonymous 14 years ago

(IsaidWhat?): Actually, it's not hypocritical at all, considering the fact that I have heard your side of the story many times before from other people. And, believe it or not, I listened to what you had to say as well, it just didn't convince me one bit. Sorry. You are the one who is so overcome by anger that all you can possibly do is defend yourself in any possible way, not actually paying attention to my opinion

hahahah At what part did I get angry with you? Maybe we found your problem. Everyone seems to be yelling at you in your mind. Ah well, as if we haven't heard your side so many times and it didn't convince any of us either. So sadly we are still at an impasse, which I expected.

(IsaidWhat?): Hmmm, you seemed pretty aggressive to me. But I guess that's just my opinion, huh? And actually, nobody is yelling, you just have an angry tone in my mind :). Just to let you know, I didn't expect this conversation to get anywhere either. But, hey, it was fun while it lasted, amirite?

Sitting around praying actually wont get anything accomplished (; unless your hands are insanely cold.

Lol maybe you should brush up on your geography buddy. ROMANIA is a country. And its just a nickname, chill out. Also, if you read any of my other comments or the actual quote, you would realize that I'm saying that hard work goes further than praying for something to come by and rescue you.

Hahahaa I did read and understand. Who cares about geography. The point is you preach "assasin" like it is a nice thing. Nazi was a nickname too. ;-)

(IsaidWhat?): Lol, as a matter of fact, the complete opposite is true. You are just judging me based on a screen name. That is pretty low if you ask me.
