Prayer by wiegraf(op): 9:44pm On Aug 06, 2015
I pray to almighty Yahweh, the beginning and the end, whom can do and undo, etc, to let a child die due to nutrional problems (eg no food, terrible diet, etc) it had no way of preventing, every 10 seconds for the next month

Who says Yahweh isn't all powerful?

Not to different to say thanking god for saving your life from that one disaster whilst letting other parties involved die horrible, horrible deaths

But god is kind and merciful

Thanking God for the food you eat (meaning you acknowledge he decides who eats and who don't) then forget to thank for the millions of children dying of starvation in somolia and sudan daily

Yeah. You have to wonder why God is to be thanked for good things, when we can't curse him for the bad. Thanking him in that fashion means some of his actions are more praiseworthy than others.

But that your prayer sha.

accident takes place, 20 people in car. you hear 19 people survived, you start to pray the one person that survived was your loved one.

you have effectively prayed to god to kill 19 people. retroactively? maybe, but that is the intent

if you're atheist/naturalist it comes down to luck and natures capriciousness. there is no agency behind disasters. not so if you believe in omni~sky-daddy. sky-daddy is behind everything in this scenario, it is all his will.

so what happens when people thank god for blessing their lives in this grand competition for resources that is life on this rock, and they do this while knowing some kid is dying due to nutritional problems at this very moment? innocuous as it may seem, yes, they are effectively thanking god for the death of the kid. this is even more blatant when they demonize the competition; Mr/faction x is aided by the devil and after you so it's fine to wish for their suffering at your expense. this way they can justify their actions and soothe their conscience

regardless, they at the very least complicit in their gods actions, and supporting it tacitly (see 'moderate' muslims and how they support 'extremists' for a somewhat similar if more obvious example. except this is even worse due to omnixx of the agent behind the actions)

it is supposed to be dark, to force them to think. it is supposed to guilt them into acknowledging they worship a sociopath

dont worry. prayers and the sociopath dont actually exist or work. and if they did, the socio was going to kill those children anyway. even some sheeple have been meekly begging him to stop for a while now, he doesn't seem to care, no reason to believe my prayer changed anything

if yahweh existed, you know whod be doing it right? the devil and his supporters...

I mostly agree with you. The prayer was just rather emotive. Of course if Yahweh is, he is hardly loving. However, the ghastliness he exhibits is a product of the sort of minds that invented and perpetuate him.

Then it worked

Rather it worked on an abrahamic tho. You're already a heathen
