The tournament has reversed course and will now make the game BEFORE shabbat!
No overtime, though.
Prayer changes things
The statistical studies from the nineteenth century and the three CCU studies on prayer are quite consistent with the fact that humanity is wasting a huge amount of time on a procedure that simply doesn’t work. Nonetheless, faith in prayer is so pervasive and deeply rooted, you can be sure believers will continue to devise future studies in a desperate effort to confirm their beliefs.
Never study studies, studies are misleading, study God
That's right kids, school is for fools.
Prayer changes things.

"Prayer changes things.

the experts have proven you wrong.

Definition : experts
Ex's = has beens

Prayer is a life changing experience
Wow. That's hysterical. First, some anonymous drone supports their completely erroneous and redundant comment, not with fact but with empty words like "proven" and "powerful". How about providing some of that proof you claim?
Then "just sayin' just says some silly insult about experts. Obviously education and facts are intimidating to people who base their entire existence on the fiction of the bible. Since they don't have any actual facts to defend with, they must resort to insults. Is this really the best christianity has to offer?
Multiple proofs were given, multiple more proofs are available. The boat you are asking for has long since sailed, sorry you missed it .You have been on these blogs for more than enough time to see all the postings and proofs, so don't come whining with your lame what ifs.
I have no seen an ounce of proof, "Just Sayin." Again with the empty claim. If you have proof, please provide it here, because every time a christian on these boards says they have proof, it turns out to be either a personal emotional reaction to something, a personal and flawed interpretation of information, or a complete ignorance of natural processes.
Every true believer of every one of the literally thousands of gods created by humanity has felt the same conviction that you do. And every one of them has had exactly the same amount of evidence that their god exists as you do for yours.
Which part of don't come whining are you having a problem with?

I feel sorry for anyone who is or thinks they are atheist. Perhaps their issue is religion and not God. You would have to be a non-thinking drone not to know or believe in God.
a good reason why atheists are atheists is because of comments like yours. You should be ashamed of yourself.
I appreciate your concern. It would be against your Christly duties to not try to save my soul. Do you have any other tactics to achieve that goal other than calling me "a non-thinking drone"?
Hey G,
Organized religion can be a big turnoff for some folks, as well as, name calling. If someone told you that it made them sad that you believed in God would that be someone you would want to converse with? Sow with kindness.
you are all failures at christianity and at life for not being able to convert us atheists – that is a fact – it su.cks i know, but so does being delusional and you seem to have no issue with that so.... all should be well right?
@JA: You said, "a good reason why atheists are atheists is because of comments like yours."
That would be an awful reason.
I'm an atheist because I don't believe god exists. I can't think of any other reason. Don't help the idiots by posting equally inane crap.
@SeanNJ
There are many who believe our God does not exist because of the absence of love and compassion in his so called "followers". Wasnt it Ghandi who said, "i like your christ, just not his christians" ?
10 While Jesus was having dinner at Matthew’s house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with him and his disciples. 11 When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”
12 On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. 13 But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”
Thank you MMathew 9- that reminds us not to judge others, even those whom in our eyes seem to be sinners. God bless you!
