I can safely say i do not believe in it.
I was told if I were to pray to this supposive "god" that my mothers lung cancer would go away, so I did for the last seven months of her life after we found out. Did she live? no. it it get any better? no.
I believe it is a false hope for people so that they may not fear death or that they have something to use as a shield when feeling down or uneasy about their troubles.
If people choose to believe in it, they can. But in the end. What will it be worth?
A less stressful life? maybe. but its not god thats doing it. Its luck. all luck.
Sorry if i offended anyone.
Thank You. You have a great deal of common sense my friend.
Your welcome, It just hits you when you actually sit down and think about it.

Shouldn't not having to worry about going to church, pray and going to hell be considered a lot less stressful? Well, what do I know.
True, thats why You shouldnt have to worry about such things.

Even though i'm a Catholic and everything, I always couldn't help but to wonder about everything the people say about prayer.
Why, out of all people, would a god or God choose himself/herself/itself to help you or your relatives? You've done good things? Been faithful? So have millions of others.
On another note, I'm always disappointed when they reply "Its a test of faith."
Exactly, but when she was ill, thats what people spouted, "pray and it will be answered"
And ive had people tell me "what if it was her time?" I highly doubt my mom wanted to die before seeing her children have children, No parent would want that its BS imo.
