So god is not in this universe?
If god were real, he would have saved me when I asked him to. Over and over I asked.
Therefore, I have reached the conclusion that there is no god.

Or maybe God doesnt answer every hope and dream of those whom he/she/it created. Maybe God wants us to aspire to create those conditions within the framework of the universe he created for us to exist within. Or maybe God IS the universe and much much more and since we were 'created in his image' we simply Are a part of God, being a part of the universe and all. And perhaps that is why we should care for the rest of the universe, from the paths of the stars, which may one day spell our doom through changing paths of meteors, to the activities of the Earth's bacteria, which one day may evolve to irradicate us all.
Just a few thoughts... However, since I DO believe in God, I will tell you this, My God isnt here to answer every prayer, there are too many selfish people for that to ever be reasonable or practical, from a caring omnisiah's point of view.

I guess it must be like a forum moderator, only the best ones get past the minions controlling the flow of prayers to the man.

So it might go like this: Ok here's one from a kid in Israel, wants peace. (Everyone gets a good laugh out of that), NEXT: Let's see, here is one from the Pope, he is praying for peace in Israel. Hardee har har, Chuck that one, ah here is one, Will you mofo's send me a mofokin BMW? Well how bout it? Should we send it upstairs? I donno, what is mofokin? Sure, why not......
Originally posted by N8GrandjamI hope we serve the same God. God answers everyones prayers. Yo just have to be listening. Wayne, what did you expect to happen when you were asking him, anyway? Did you expect an angel to come down from Heaven singing "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot!", pick you up and carry you to Heaven?
