Teacher and Professor (from FB)

Professor: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to GOD to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But GOD didn’t. How is this GOD good then? Hmm?

Student: God answers all prayers. Sometimes, the answer is No.

Sometimes he even does nothing, or says nothing in order to get humans to think, and find whatever faith they have, or don't have.

God is only good to those who believe. All others pay cash.

That was a great read and I wish I were there.

As for the bad stuff, it is there to test our faith is it not?

The great thing about the prayer argument, is that you can take two different people, who believe and pray to totally different gods, and both will give the same generic answer when asked about prayer, and both will be convinced that its proof of their theology being the 'true' one.

Its a shame we don't have say 5 different people with different religions in the thread, each one saying 'Well sometimes my god says yes, but sometimes he says no' and waiting to see how long it takes for the penny to drop.

Maybe so, but this interaction was based on 'faith', and therefore should/would be the same regardless of which religion.

What blows my mind is these types quicly rush to fund an operation that makes war. They rush to fund operations taking over their lives. But if you suggest they believe in GOD, they go nuts.
