If that makes you feel better, then it's okay. [/quote] Honest question: Can you prove either assertion? I'd say praying to a nonexistent or deaf God would be delusional and in no way okay. [/quote I can't prove either assertion. I do think prayer does have some positive psychological effects for billions of people. I don't think we should consider all of them to be delusional just because prayer seems to soothe them. At the same time, those people who actually think God is saying something to them or hearing a supernatural response may need some help. But once again, prayer is okay for those who need it, and they should always have the freedom to pray, just as you have the freedom to contribute on GLP. [/quote] Thanks for explaining so thoughtfully and respectfully. I sincerely like hearing other perspectives and hope you'll reply to a couple more questions. What kind of help might they need if they claim to hear from God or credit God for responding directly to specific prayers? This seems to assume delusion or disconnection from reality, and I get that. Also, do you deny God exists at all or merely that he speaks to people? I allow that some who claim to hear God are deluded. Not all, though. [/quote Why is there the need for God? People are afraid of the unknown and afraid of death. A supernatural entity seems to sooth those fears, although it's made up and not logical. Those same heated religious emotions make some people susceptible to all sorts of misinterpretations of natural occurrences, such as seeing white lights in near-death experiences. It takes some courage to stop making things up. [/quote] Thanks again. Not everyone is as open and honest as you are. You might be surprised how much I and others on this thread agree with you on many points. Have you ever met a sincere, kind, reasonably intelligent Christian? [/quote]
Original Message
For God did not send His Son {Jesus} into the world to
condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be
saved. He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who
does not believe is condemned already, because he has not
believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
{Jn 3: 17-18}
