Mynd44:
Or maybe just maybe it is the only building that was built with concrete blocks instead of cardboards like the rest

Sirmwill:
Yeah

Tho not really cardboard oo 😂

But they build houses with wood there and fire still devastated houses built with concrete

Botragelad:
Weak and illogical argument.
Are you suggesting that god, in all his omnipotence, decided to spare this church from the wildfires, while allowing everything around it to burn to ashes? And this, somehow, is evidence of an existence? 🤷🏼

Look closely, the church was likely built with fire-resistant materials, possibly cement or brick, whereas the surrounding homes were probably made of wood. It's basic physics, really. United States of friggin America,buddy!

Now, if god is all-powerful, why didn't he simply prevent the wildfires from occurring in the first place? Why allow innocent people to lose their homes and livelihoods? Is that really the kind of "divine message" you think humanity needs?

By the way, Psalm 14:1 is a very weak attempt to shame atheists. It's called "appeal to faith" fallacy. Lol
Now, if you do not mind me asking: do you really believe that god's decision to spare a single church building, while allowing widespread destruction elsewhere, is evidence of his existence? Or is this just a convenient example of "God's providence" that you're using to prop up your faith?

Sirmwill:
You don't Believe?

Botragelad:
Believe what? 🤷🏼

Sirmwill:
That it is only a God act that stopped the fires from affecting the churches?

Righteousness2:
Oga rest in the Name of JESUS CHRIST OF NAZERETH!
There is no maybe or may whatever.

That is simply your CREATOR and my CREATOR, THE ALMIGHTY GOD passing a clear Message.

Botragelad:
Can you disprove the "fact" that I stopped the fire from affecting the church?

Sirmwill:
You would have been put on the news as "a man who prevented the fires from affecting the churches"

Botragelad:
Did god put it on the news? 🤷🏼

Sirmwill:
I advise you not to reply me

Everyone has their right to believe what they want to believe!!!
You can't force something of your own belief right into their heads

Save yourself the stress!
I only reply Post that i think are relevant to reply.

Sirmwill:
He would have to put an image of himself on the news for people to see but he is not physical,no one would be able to see him

Botragelad:
Likewise, I'm not physical. What's your point?

Now can you disprove the "fact" that I stopped the fire from affecting the church?

Sirmwill:
If it was because the house was concrete and all that, then some few other houses should have survived the fire.

The churches cannot be the only buildings built with cements and bricks

Sirmwill:
You are Physical 😂

Botragelad:
Why are you cherry-picking data to fit your narrative?. Just because the church survived the fire doesn't mean it's a miracle. It's likely due to its construction materials/design.

If we apply Occam's Razor, the simplest explanation is that the church was built with fire-resistant materials, whereas the surrounding homes were not. That's not a divine intervention, is it? Just basic physics and architecture.

Again, if god were indeed responsible for sparing the church, why did he not prevent the fire from occurring in the first place? Or, at the very least, why did he not protect the surrounding homes and businesses?

Can you provide any evidence to support the claim that the church's survival was a divine miracle, rather than a result of its physical properties?

Sirmwill:
The evidence is there, it's only churches that were not affected.

Botragelad:
I'm not! 🤷🏼

Botragelad:
What evidence? 🤷🏼

Sirmwill:

If one other building (just a single one) was also not affected there, we could have concluded otherwise.
Especially if the building is also made of Cement bricks


That's the evidence

Botragelad:
Are you confused?
Correlation does not imply causation, girl. Just because churches appear to be the only buildings spared doesn't necessarily mean it's a divine intervention.

Like I stated earlier on, did you consider the possibility that churches, by design, are often built with more robust materials and construction methods than surrounding buildings? Possibly, the church in question was constructed with fire-resistant materials or had better fire safety measures in place?

And another thing, repeating this again. If god were indeed protecting churches, why stop at just the buildings? Why not protect the surrounding buildings/communities?

How do you even explain the numerous instances of churches being damaged or destroyed by natural disasters or fires? Does that not somehow contradict your idea that churches are divinely protected?🤷🏼
