Miracles do not happen. Prayer has never changed anything.
Disbelief doesn't alter your life at all. Nobody has dropped dead from cursing god. Those who are faithful are not living longer, have more robust lives, or better relationships. Those who are resting their fate on how they perform as humans are prevailing in this life. Look around you.
Praying to pass a test doesn't make you pass... Studying does.
By telling people that they are going to die unless they convert, is the type of mentality that has caused these atrocities. I blame the people perpetuating fear. For the sake of fear itself. I refuse to be scared of something that has never been seen. Faith isn't getting us anywhere. It's just an excuse so that people don't have to actually ever do anything to improve. You cannot sit back and let things happen, or I'm afraid those who are moving are going to surpass you very soon.
