So is the OP false, true, or a mixture of both?
Originally posted by wolfgang59The element of truth is that yes, God does answer prayers and sometimes the answer is indeed no. That does not mean that he's just a mean bastard. What it means is that He knows what is best for us; His understanding is deeper than man's understanding. It also means that sometimes man asks for some rather frivolous things as well.
I dont see how it can be a false story. 😕
It is a funny piece of fiction which does have an element of Truth to it.
Originally posted by SuzianneOddly enough, God answering prayers has no detectable statistical effect on peoples lives, suggesting that what God things is best for us is to treat us all equally regardless of how much we pray. Also, he seams to treat wealthier people much nicer.

And I bet after ...[text shortened]... you. Why don't you just say it up front instead of seemingly saying something quite different?[/b]
Originally posted by SuzianneOK, lets hear it then. Its your claim that many peoples prayers aren't answered because they are too frivolous.
