Your understanding is what is funny, always read the terms of an agreement carefully before signing instead of ridiculous gloating in assumption. God feeds you but you need to get into the kitchen, that's how He made it work. He's provided all the wisdom, resources and science so that we are not zombies or doltheads looking for who to wipe off mucus from our mouths in the name of love. You probably looking for the wrong god. God has no issues neither is His workings mutually exclusive to commonsense and primary healthcare.
grin grin grin
So God has provided all we need to do of ourselves?
But you're the one shouting about someone that got healed of aids, did God provid him with the knowledge to create an AIDS healing drug that he has refused to share with the world.
Did Jesus heal using advanced medical techniques still unknown to science?
When he walked on water, was he using anti gravity slippers he built from scratch.

But god is all powerful... He doesn't need medical assistance does he?? So why go to the hospital when u can pray?

He doesn't, you do duh. You probably bathe your 21yr old son since you can. Stop being ludicrous.

It simply means that He is an efficient and excellent God. He didn't create us with having to run to Him for everything, He gave us some self reliance and exploring. Imagine if your kids called you to help with everything, no independence whatsoever. Where is the dominion, why the education, wisdom, resources and knowledge and provision if you are to make sure to run along to demand what you can do?

This is weak.
I've already stated that if this was the case, then prayer would have the power to heal amputees instantly since humans can't cure it.
But it doesn't.

Who says Prayer can't heal amputees?

Which amputee went to church, and returned home the same?

In fact, why don't you take an amputee to Church and stop being a nuisance?

All they can heal are things that can easily be faked or things that happen by coincidence.

If its not coincidental then they should go to hospitals and heal the sick in them.
Why should you posses such powers and only restrict it to your church.

Not all religions believe or prat to God, and a lot of those religions are the majority in Japan.



My first concern is to prove that they are not athiests.contrary to your propangander weather the believe in God or not.
As long as they pratice ritual and observe rites which is obvious they do. than we can also class them as religeous.

Mr Blueagent, learn to read and understand

I said "THEY DON'T WORSHIP ANY GOD"

Shintiosm and Buddhism doesn't involve worshipping any god

Shintoism is cultural, not evey religion involves worship of gods, "Kami" is more "spirits" "essence" "nature" etc

Taoism and Confucianism also do not involve worship of any god

you can read up on Shintoism, Taosim, Buddhism and get more enlightened so you don't wrongly accuse me of lying

Hopefullandlord is not Yahweh that he should lie




You need to go to school first and understand what religeon is.

(Catholicism).
Religion is a cultural system of behaviors and
practices, world views, sacred texts, holy places,
ethics, and societal organisation that relate
humanity to what an anthropologist has called
"an order of existence".[1] Different religions may
or may not contain various elements, ranging
from the "divine",[2] "sacred things",[3] "faith",[4]
a "supernatural being or supernatural beings"[5]
or "some sort of ultimacy and transcendence that
will provide norms and power for the rest of
life."[6]
Religious practices may include rituals, sermons,
commemoration or veneration (of God or deities)
, sacrifices, festivals, feasts, trances, initiations,
funerary services, matrimonial services,
meditation, prayer, music, art, dance, public
service, or other aspects of human culture.
Religions have sacred histories and narratives,
which may be preserved in sacred scriptures, and
symbols and holy places, that aim mostly to give
a meaning to life. Religions may contain symbolic
stories, which are sometimes said by followers to
be true, that have the side purpose of explaining
the origin of life, the Universe, and other things.
Traditionally, faith, in addition to reason, has
been considered a source of religious beliefs.[7]
There are an estimated 10,000 distinct religions
worldwide.[8] About 84% of the world's
population is affiliated with one of the five largest
religions, namely Christianity, Islam, Hinduism,
Buddhism or forms of folk religion.[9]

Why do you athiests love lies?
Shinto (神道 Shintō?), also called kami-no- michi,[note 1] is a Japanese ethnic religion. It focuses on ritual practices to be carried out diligently, to establish a connection between present-day Japan and its ancient past.[2] Shinto practices were first recorded and codified in the written historical records of the Kojiki and Nihon Shoki in the 8th century. Still, these earliest Japanese writings do not refer to a unified "Shinto religion", but rather to a collection of native beliefs and mythology.[3] Shinto today is a term that applies to the religion of public shrines devoted to the worship of a multitude of gods

Buddhism is an atheistic religion since it has no God, but you can worship gods if you please to, it isn't against that, you can even worship Yahweh and be Buddhist.
