Quote by: Rogue Cardinal  So you would argue much like I would in that in reality...prayer is just talking to ones self with the idea that the big man upstairs is listening and as such the effects of prayer are more psychological. It merely gives the person the FEELING they've been heard....even though God doesn't give proof of jack anymore.
Which leads me to the idea that prayer is bogus then. The power of prayer lives in your mind and nowhere else. |
I'd have to disagree. You're supposing that if God actually answers a prayer, that is stating that proof has been given, and according to you, Christians are claiming that they don't need proof.
No intelligent theist is going to cite an answered prayer as objective proof of God's existence. Prayer is inherently subjective.
