If there is a Creator-God, it has used methods of creation that are indistinguishable from nature, it has declined to make itself known for all of recorded history, it doesn't intervene in affairs on earth, and has made itself impossible to observe. Even if you believe in that God... why would you think it would want to be worshiped?
David G. McAfeeWhile it may be impossible to 'disprove' the existence of some 'Higher Power' or abstract Creator, it is entirely possible โ through analysis and research โ to find discrepancies within the ancient, organized religious traditions that support the idea of a specific God.
David G. McAfeeWithout cultural indoctrination, all of us would be atheists. Or, more specifically, while many may dream up their own gods as did our ancestors, they would certainly not be โChristianโ or โJewishโ or โMuslimโ or any other established religion. Thatโs because, without the texts and churches and familial instruction, there are no independent evidences that any specific religion is true. Outside of the Bible, how would one hear of Jesus? The same goes for every established religion.
David G. McAfeePrayer doesnโt work. Perhaps it makes the believer feel better (in the same way that meditation or deep thought would), but prayer doesnโt actually affect the external world. Not only is it ineffective, but it is also a very narcissistic practiceโฆ why would a 'God' change its 'Divine Plan' to accommodate any personโs wishes?
