But people of all sorts of faiths make the same claim, that their prayers are often answered and that their God helps them in their lives. Some religious people, for instance, claim that their God gives them the power to stick ice picks and knives through their cheeks, arms, and so on, and that this proves their God is helping them. Do you think all these people are worshipping the same God? I can assure you that the many Gods throughout man's history who have performed miracles and answered prayers were VERY different from the God you worship. There is no reason to suppose they are the same.
However, there are many things you are leaving out. Not EVERY prayer is answered. Religious people will say "It wasn't God's will" when this happens. Surely no loved one would ever die if every prayer was answered. Yet people do die, and bad things happen to people, even people who have prayed for good things. The fact is that there is no reason to believe prayer causes these good things. When something good happens, people look upon it as evidence that the prayer worked. When something bad happens, they look upon that as evidence that God didn't desire to answer the prayer. Notice how, no matter what happens, the prayer is believed to have been heard by God. This is ridiculous. If the prayer doesn't work, you should assume it didn't work.
Pray for a mountain to move, and see what happens. If the mountain doesn't move, see if your faith has been harmed. I bet it wouldn't have budged. This is because you don't look at the results of your prayer nor care. You only pay attention to the results that meet your expectations.
At any rate, remember the people who claim that God allows them to injure themselves without harm? There are people who are NOT religious who can do the same things. You know how people who pray say God often helps them and has good things happen to them? Well, good things happen to atheists and skeptics, too! The effects of prayer are not an adequate reason for belief. In fact, scientists recently did a study on the effects of prayer on people with diseases in hospitals, and the people who were prayed for had the same chances of recovery as the people who weren't prayed for.

Well you are right about how some good things you pray for don't always come true but even though I still have faith.Do you get bad luck after you be mean to someone who cares about you?If so like let's say you hit your self someone where or lose something people say god is the one who is punishing you.But in some cases it is not god who all people pray if they are not religious,good stuff happen to them anyways because it is just a matter of luck.What I do assume when my prayer does not work is that maybe I did something wrong that god won't hear my prayer but if I didn't do anything wrong then I would think that it is very strange and I would get upset.For those people who worship more than one god is because they have different beliefs like all people have different opinions.As for you what do you believe in?Do you believe in heaven or hell?I will always believe in god not because others do but because of what I believe in myself and also since I was little I always went to church with my grandma.

i dont know how to tell my mom i got my period. i'm embarrassed about that kind of stuff, and i dont like talking to her about it. please tell me a good icebreaker, and be honest!!! HELPP!!! (link)
| |
My mom always said"When you start bleeding down there don't get scared and when you have a question you could ask me about it anytime".So after I got my period for the first time I asked her"Does it hurt a lot when you have your period?"And she told me it does sometimes but that I'll get used to it.So you shouldn't feel embrassed to tell your mom she has it too she is also a female like you nad she had experience on it.You have nothing to worry about trust me.Just talk to her about it calmly.

Our school has banned Abercrombie from our school. They say that the shirts are too sexual and distract the "learning environment." Today a friend of mine was wearing and Abercrombie shirt that said "Will work forehand jobs" and was given a saturday detention and they made him take it off. The same thing happened to a guy wearing a shirt that had a video game controler and said "wanna play?" Yes I get that those shirts can get you in trouble but what's wronge with regular Abercrombie shirts that don't have anything to do with sex? And not to mention pants. Well, us students want to get them to let us wear Abercrombie to school again becasue not ALL their shirts are like that. WE have no idea wear to start. Any ideas? (link)

What you could do is get people to sign a petition which is agreements from people to agree to help you to succeed on voting something important but if you don't get enough people you will lose the petition try convincing people to sign it by telling them the importance of freewill doing things or wearing things you like to and tell them it is for a very good purpose or cause.

what do u do to get rid of hiccups?? (link)
| |
What I do to get rid of the hiccups is drink a lot of water if it still does not work later I drink some more.I don't drink any fruit juices or soda until like the next day.To avoid this from happening again you should not always drink too much of those drinks but more water though.

The following questions are not really being asked so that I can be advised about my own beliefs, but rather to (hopefully) stimulate discussion.
Anyway, my first question is this:
Many people believe that God must exist because the universe itself exists. In essence, they believe that the universe was caused by something, and that cause was God. The argument assumes three things. 1. It assumes existence is necessarily caused. 2. It assumes that existence was caused by a conscious, intelligent being.
Now, it seems to me that the idea that the cause is conscious and intelligent, and even a being, is open to question. Maybe the cause is some transcendant FORCE? The first assumption, as well, is questionable. No one is sure if we have every really observed existence being caused. We have seen things change forms, but not pop into existence. Not only that, but theories in quantum physics hold that subatomic particles often appear out of nowhere, with no cause. Many events in the subatomic realm are said to be uncaused. This seems to openly refute the first assumption.
Do you agree or disagree with this? Discuss.
The second argument I'd like to make is in regards to the other big argument for God, that being the argument of design. It basically states that because life is so complex, it couldn't have arisen from chance and it had to be designed.
My objections to this are as follows:
1. If complex life must have been designed by some intelligent force, then the designer (being intelligent) must also have been designed. The designers would have to go back into an infinite regression. This is hardly a plausible idea, because it needlessly multiplies entities without any reason for supposing their existence.
2. The theory of evolution shows how life can evolve from simpler organisms without any intentional design. This is not caused by 'random chance', but by the forces of natural selection, genetic drift, and sexual selection, among others. None of these selection mechanisms are "random". The mutations are random, but the species that survive are not chosen at random.
Is there an adequate way to defend the design theory against these arguments? How would you do so?
Another common argument (this is the last one) is that, given the Big Bang theory, the chances of this specific life-supporting universe originating have such small odds of happening that it seems absurd to say it happened by pure chance.
My objections:
1. Simply because the probability is very low for this given universe doesn't mean that it is IMPOSSIBLE for the universe to form this way by chance.
2. If we were to emphasize the chances of a universe being created that had, say, a lot of big, gaseous planets like jupiter and very few like Earth, this would also be very improbable. The point is that emphasizing life seems arbitrary. Any other possible outcome would be just as improbable.
3. Your own existence is very improbable as well. Think about it. You were composed of a specific sperm out of millions and a specific egg out of thousands. Your parents, grand-parents, and all your other ancestors for however old humans have been around were also subject to this very low probability of being born. If we factor in the chance of each of your relatives meeting and the chances of them having sex at a particular time, the chances become even lower for your own existence. Given all these variables (and there are many more), the chances of your existence are VERY improbable. Does this mean that you weren't created through sexual reproduction (a process of "random" selection among sperm and eggs) but that some being--maybe a stork?--guided you into existence?
Obviously, the fine-tuning argument fails for the reasons the stork argument fails. Do you agree or disagree? Why or why not?
Feel free to pick and choose objects of discussion. Hopefully there will be some interesting responses to give me something to think about! (link)

I cannot tell you if god was created as well as how he looks like or who created him that is just one big mystery.You do have a good point about an intelligent person who creates things and that someone must of probably made them.But god does exist I mean look when I need his help I do get the help I really need and when I feel very depressed it then later goes away and I do get good luck and you should believe in him think about it who created nature,humans,and all that you see around you.People had dreams that they seen the light of a person right when they were about to die but survived somehow.Also the love ones would pray to the lord for them to live and they usually do even miracles like someone got hit by a lighting and survived it which is amazing!People who would turn evil who were said that the devil was in them,a priest would cure them with god's pure water,read verses from the bible's book which is the book of god,then get's the devil out,and they turn back to themselves.I strongly believe in god I always did since I was a little girl.If you have any another things you're wondering about god or something else you could just ask me anytime.

my best male friend and i have been friends for 8 years he is my everything i love him as a friend, and anything else you can love your friend as he is one of the greatest people i know i thought iwas in love in love with him but then i met my boyfriend and he is one of the sweetest guys i know but things are changing between me and my boyfriend its like everytime we talk he gets this sound in his voice as if its hurting him to talk to me my best friend would never do that to me he would be honest and upfront with me about how hes feeling i love my boyfriend but i have strong feelings 4 my friend my friend alredy knows how i feel about him so what should i do? sorry so long (link)
| |
If this boyfriend of yours is not treating you well and really mean to you then you should probably be with your male best friend of eight years but also think about how this could affect your relationship with him if you too one day might break up but it's a 50%chance you too might be friends again because it will be difficult to see each other the same way when you were friends.Make sure you find out who you have more feeling because you might make a mistake that you may regret so take your time and when your ready say what you decided to talk about with them.

my BEST FRIEND has been for me since 2nd grade, and i dont want anything to come between us.
last year i went out with a guy, umm lou..sure...and he broke up with me...but ive always been crushing on him since. just crushing...i still flirt with others and stuff, but my best friend..uhh..zoe....nos that i "like" him.
lately shes been flirting with lou alot, and she came out and told me she likes him more than a friend. i was really upset, but she promised me that she wouldnt hurt me by going out with him or anything.
so now she told LOU that she liked him, and im thinking that they are soon going to go out, cuz my other friend came up to me and was like, "do you hate zoe now??" and im like why and their like "oops nvm" and so i think they're gonna go out or already are.
so what im asking is should i just let them go and break my heart..but still have my friend and try to forget about it-or let this situation hurt my friendship and make her realize how bad she really hurt me.
ill rate high nomatter what cuz this is longish...thnx (link)
| |
What you should do is speak to your friend about this ask her if she is going out with hi don't let them break your heart, she is not worth as a true friend,also remember that she told you she wouldn't do that to you which will mean she lied to you.You should also make her realize how she hurted you.You should froget about lou and move on to another guy but be careful with your friends not to try to take him away from you.When you meet the guy you're interested in start a conversation before another girl does the sooner the better.

I have volleyball tonight and im a nervous wreck!! becuz the commisioner for my school volleyball is coming and its kind of like a tryout thing but have of my grade will be together and then half will be on the high school juniors team and im a sophomore and its like an advanced thing and i am like really excited but then im nervous too. What is a good way not to get to nervous and do bad at the sport????
(link)
| |
You could do is try to relax,trust in yourself and say to yourself that you could do it,pratice some moves before the volley ball game,have everything well prepared so so don't get more nervous and so you don't start to get frustrated. Also you should bring in a towel and some water to cool you down.You should also do a warmup like stretching before doing a sport. Also drink some coffee which helps adults a lot when going to their job.Keep your eyes on the game because if you stare a lot at the people watching the game you won't be able to focus and you'll get distracted.

ok well im 17 and me and my boyfriend met like a month ago at my friends grad party and we just hit it off and now we are an "item". THe bad thing is that he lives in detroit which is like an hour and a half from where i live so we never get to see each other but we talk almost everyday on the phone.we love each other but im just scared to lose him cause i finally found someone worth loving but long distance relationships never work out from what my friends say but i want to know how you guys would handle being in a relationship like mine. thanks (link)
| |
Lon distance relationships usually don't last very long I mean it's a big possibility he might meet another girl and may start acting different with you I know because a couple of people in my family happened to them before and had their heart broken in the end.But try not to get into a disagreement because then they lead to a bad discussion which he'll want to find comfort with someone else who will not be you.Have you too send pictures of yourselves?Have you too always never got into a disagreement?You don't have to answer if you don't want to answer it's alright I'm just curious.What's most important for long distance relationships is to have trust in the other and to stick to it.

i really need someones help!!! ok so i am 17 and over the last 3 days i have been so hungry i have just wanted to eat and thats it. Today i ate a whole bowl of rice all to myself and i did not even feel full up i think i am Ill. I went to the doctors the other day cus my neck was swollen they looked at my tounge and ears and said it was fine. but seriously i can't stop eating... what shall i do. (link)
| |
What you could do is do something to keep you off from eating too much like a hobby,go outside,hang out with a friend or two or exercise,write a journal or read books or hear music or watch tv or play fun things on the computer.You must not eat a lot of salty or fat foods, if you feel very hungry instead of eating stuff like a lot of rice eat a whole lot of fruit ,and vegetables it's very good for your health.

every morning, i have the sniffles. like i constantly blow my nose & sneeze & everything. last year, i couldn't concentrate in my 1st period class bc i had the sniffles! ugh it's so annoying! and it only happens when i wake up early, not when i wake up whenever. school starts soon & i don't want to be humuliated in my class. how can i get rid of them?? thanks and yeah i'll rate lol (link)
| |
Buy some medicine for the sniffles like one called "Nite time",drink warm water or juice or soda but not cold though until you heal,also buy some medicine that is for the day as well.I would recommend you eat a lot of soup or the soup with chicken also apples are good,especially apple juice.

Well me and my boyfriend have been dating for about 5 months now!! Were pretty close and all but when hhe gets mad at me ill be all like im sorry im sorry and all my friends are like hes got you in check and i dun wanna be mean to him cuz i love him so instead of like sucking up to him what should i say!! ok i would be thankful if you helped thanks all bye!! (link)
| |
Tell him that he could trust you and that you would never lie to him or cheat on him.Also when he get's mad at you try to cheer him up by cuddling him and telling him that you don't like when he get's mad at you and that all you want is to see him happy.Get his trust and don't do things that will seem bad or wrong to do.

ok well, im going out with this guy named james and i really like him. but lately whenever we talk on the phone its really boring and he is really prude so it sucks. so these two guys like me named john and nick. and they think i should break up with him becasue they dont think he is going to change and they think i desurve more. so john asked me if i thought going to a dance with someone im not going out with would be considered cheating. and i said no so he asked me to the dance. and i said yes. so now i dont know if my bf will be mad at me or not. should i break up with him? should i tell him about the dance? what should i do? PLEASE HELP ME! (link)
| |
You should break up with him if you're planning to go with a dance with another guy because James does not deserve it he is the guy who you are going out with you don't want to hurt him by doing that to him.If you want to be with more than one guy you have to choose one and with that person you feel who you want to be with the most.Follow your heart.Do the right thing.In the first place John shouldn't have asked you knowing you are going out with someone he should wait until you break up with him that is if you choose to.And what a concidence I know three guys with those names!But one of those names has the name of a great friend and whose name is John.

hey whats the best workout to tone your lower stomach? thanx xxx (link)
| |
Strength training would be because it not only builds muscles it burns off a lot.You should do at least lift weights for 35 to 45 times.Like some female wrestlers done that to get the best tone and to gain strength,and impress their fans.I recommend you do this every three days so your body could have enough time to heal.

I could probably answer my own advice, but I want someone else's opinion.It started 3 years ago when I was 16. After my boyfriend and I broke up I started downing myself alot. I felt I let the situation go out of control and I had always since my childhood let others get the best of me and control me, I think around the time my boyfriend and I broke up I developed my eating disorder. I have also had other problems like with cutting, trichillomania, anxiety, and depression. I am like a VERY nervous person and it's hard to control my moods and all. Everyday is a struggle to be perfect sometimes i just wish i could cure this disorder and move on and know that being thin isnt everything, but when I see someone thinner than me or someone on tv I am triggered and feel so bad whenever I do eat. I will literally starve for 5 days, then binge the next two days and then starve again then binge and purge and the cycle continues. My question is I feel worthless and like I have lost all hope on getting better, my boyfriend that I broke up with 3 years ago well we are back together and he knows about me being bulimic and anorexic, he yells at me because he hates that I do that to myself and he has even said 'you either choose me or the disorder.' he doesnt understand, i love him so much and i would do anything for him but i cant stop doing this too myself, it is so much in my head to stop. He always says Im too skinny but never really tried to help me, sometimes he even makes negative comments to me even when he knows that makes it worse. What can I say to make him understand? Its so awkward that he knows my biggest secret. (link)
| |
You should help yourself with this situation you are the only one to stop this disorder do for yourself and your boyfriend who you care a lot about.Tell him on how it is very hard for you not to stop and that you just need him to help but not by telling you negative things to you because it isn't helping and makes things much worse.Also in order to understand this problem he also should understand that you need to cure this disorder you have by taking some action not by talking like taking you to a psychiatrist I advice a lot to seek one for problems like this.You have to stop this even though you say you can't do something that will keep off the idea of making yourself starve to death and if you keep on with this one day you may even get a disease of disorder so for your own good you must not continue on with this.

omg i used to be like the hottest girl in school ever omg and the best body/butt now this new girl came and shes like the hottest now but shes a good good what do i do to get hott again please help i love the attention from guys ill rate you high hotties (link)
| |
Pay attention to how this girl dresses try to find something that is better or in her lead.Put on a new style or dye your hair into a hot one like red and make sure if you are it has to match you.If she does have a better body than you what you need to do is either do some workouts at home or head the gym like I do.Wear lipgloss that will sparkle or lipstick that is brand new which will make your lips look gorgeous like a celebrity's lips.Wear dresses that are in highly in fashion and one that will show some body like cute curvy minskirts that look very fancy.Wear one some perfume that will turn a guy on for best results wear a lot to capture the guys attention and like you more.Good luck!

My boyfriend came over the other night and he was impliying that he wanted to have sex But i said no Now he won't answer my calls and Hes always with this girl named sarah and shes a slut Do u think hes cheating on me?
*Nikki 14 (link)
| |
I do think he is I mean some guys if you don't give them what they want they will go find another girl to do the job and especiall ywiht a girl you say is a slut.Spy on him when he is with this girl if he is cheating on you break up with him and look for some other guy who will respect you for who you are and your decisions.Especially keep your eyes on that girl Sarah.If he is not cheating on you well just let that girl named Sarah know that he is your guy and warn her not to even try to put her eyes on him because he has a girl which is you so she will get the message real well.And also tell your guy to understand you if you don't want to but you do like him and also ask him why he doesn't answer your calls.

ok my boyfriend and i have been going out for 2 years and he thinks im going to leave him. everyone hes gotten close to has left him but i never will. i dont know how to make him see that i wont. i love him way to much and if i was going to leave him then i would have when he lied to me about something. but its also getting me nervous because i dont know if he wants to take a break or anything, and i dont want to ask because im afraid of his answer. what should i do? please help. i rate. (link)
| |
Observe your boyfriend when he stares at you,if he acts all weird or mean at you this could mean he either is having problems or wants to break up with you.Since you are afraid ask a friend to talk to him about you saying that you don't want to break up with him and that you love him a whole lot and you never will want to.Tell your friend to confirm you what he saids to know what is going on with his mind.
