You talk as if God placed a rope around your neck and is dragging you towards the fulfillment of His plans for you even though you hate His plans for you, as if He stops you from carrying out your own plans for your life, as if His plans for anyone nullify their power of free will to choose or reject them, as if God will FORCE His plans on you, as if His plans for you are independent of your desire and active participation to see them come to fruition, as if knowing how to spell God equates with knowing who He is....

it seems you have problem with comprehension ..

If they say something is automatic and cannot be changed . it means you are stuck with it, it is forced on you by god .. A billion prayers won't change his plans ..

We all know even the plans you are making is already gods plan so what is there to nullify ?


Lemme make it simple for you..
Let's say I'm your boss at work, and I have plans for every worker that works under me and no one can change these plans even if they desire or beg me from now till next week .. And my plan for you is sack you after a certain period of time and then make you rich .. What is the point of you wishing and begging when its not gonna change any thing ? I already forced my plan on you and nothing is gonna change it ..

It's not so hard to understand now .

Hahahaha. Jeromejnr, have you seen this thread? My belle wan burst wit laughter here o. Sometimes I wonder if there is an end in sight to this display of ignorance? grin

So prayer is now useless because God's plans now translates to His bounden duty towards you whether you express a desire for it or not. It now justifies your PRIDE of expectation and INGRATITUDE since, in your opinion, it is God's plan, not yours, which He must fulfill and, as such, prayer is redundant. It means you can be lazy or irresponsible and still be rich and great - God's plans to the rescue. God is your robot that cleans your mess, tidies your bedroom, cooks for you and bathes you since it is His plan for you to be clean, to have a clean environment, and be well fed.

Scholar8200 and God2man, nice contributions.

meaningless contribution ..

I didn't ask God to have a plan for me. Nobody does. He didn't give me the free will to chose my plan.. Maybe if he had done that, prayer would have been necessary.
He automatically have plans for everyone, therefore, your desire is totally meaningless since he is not gonna change his plan anyway.

Now counter the post instead of using sarcasm to say meaningless things.

Christianity EtcRe: S. Arabia Has 100k Empty Tents With AC For 3M People- Zero Refugees Taken (pix) by ribbit:
Hmmmm

*arr Saudi Arabia - so let me get this straight.
1) For decades you have funded the *most radical*, *most literal* interpretation of Islam, known as Wahabiism - perhaps similar in its theocratic literalism to the Westboro Baptist Church, but much more deadly in the fact that it directly dictates the policy of an entire country.
2) This doctrine goes on to inspire Bin Laden, Ayman Al-Zawahiri, and most recently, Abu Bakr Al-Bagdadi and his little organization known as ISIS.
3) ISIS jumps into the chaos of the Syrian Civil War, begins taking sex slaves, murdering fellow muslims, setting the clock back over a thousand years for women and gays and religious minorities, and helping to cause one of the worst refugee crises of the modern era.
4) These refugees - in desperate need of food clothing and shelter - turn to the world for help to escape the crisis that *you* helped partially to create. The number of refugees you decide to take in - a big fat walloping *ZERO*. The reason? You fear - yes, this is not a joke - that "religious extremism" could enter your country.
5) These refugees find safe harbor in the evil, bigoted, imperalist, infidel West, most notably Germany, who *do*, however imperfectly, agree to help these refugees find food, clothing and shelter.
6) Rather than pledge safe harbor for these refugees - overwhelmingly Muslim like yourselves - you pledge *instead* to help them build - wait for it - more Mosques.

Wasn't it the existence of *too much* religious doctrine that helped create ISIS, at least 50% of the cause of this crisis? What could *possibly* make you think that *more* religion is what these starving and homeless refugees need, when it is indeed at least 50% *because of* religion that they are now homeless and starving?
What more can one say? The futility of theocracy is laid bare for the entire world to see. Even as a war caused partially by doctrine sends millions into homelessness, the theocrats show themselves far more concerned with doctrine than with starving and homeless human beings.

Saudi Arabia appears to be suffering from what I call "Mother Theresa Syndrome". Mother Theresa was known for her "homes for the dying." This turned Mother Theresa into an international celebrity and caused millions of dollars to pour into her organization. Further investigation proved that these Homes for the Dying could have instead become Homes for the Living if her organization had decided to spend that money on the routine western medical procedures that could've cured many of the dying, thousands of people who simply were too poor to have access to such medicine. Why do that, however, when you can use them as an opportunity to promote your particular doctrine worldwide?
People have often asked how people in the West and in the Middle East can win this war on terror - I am more convinced everyday that the new battle lines are not in Iraq and Syria, but in the European refugee camps. We often say that our system is better and more humane - it's time to prove it by treating these refugees with the care and dignity they deserve, things they simply do not receive anymore in their country of origin. How we treat these refugees is going to be the very thing that defeats groups like ISIS not just on the battlefield, but in the hearts and minds of Muslims worldwide. It's time to show that they can have a much better life among the Infidels than the Theocrats, and that when we in liberal western Democracies say we respect *all* people, and believe that *all* people are entitled to freedom, prosperity and basic human rights - we mean it.

charix:
Prayer is a strategy whereby you do nothing but can rationalize in your mind you performed an action.

E.g. Your dog's drowing; you immediately start praying instead of jumping to action. After praying for an hour the dog dies eventually. You're now free to write the dog off saying it was destined to die eitherway since God did nothing about your prayer.

That's what the whiteman anticipated and it still works today. They create solutions to problems and sell them to us who've tried to no avail praying them away.
nice one
Christianity EtcPraying Is Meaningless And A Total Waste Of Time! by ribbit(op): 2:28am On Sep 12, 2015
They say, god has plan(s) for everyone and his plans are perfect and unalterable, then what exactly is point of praying?
for god to change his mind?
are we saying a perfect being like god plans suck that he needs to change his mind?

e.g, let's say, if it's god plan for man to be rich at the age of 40, this plan cannot changed, but this same man will be moving from mountains to valleys and from churches to mosques praying and calling down fire just to be rich before 40. what exactly is the point when no matter what he does, he has to clock 40 before he gets rich.?

let's use jesus as an example, god plan's for him to die and rise up after 3 days. few days before his crucifixion,he prayed fervently day and night to god to move the cup over him so he won't have to die, but still the plan didn't change.. so what exactly is the point of all the prayers when he could have enjoyed himself to the fullest before he dies.

and for those that will say "to communicate with god" what exactly do you communicate in this prayer
