I walked in a days ago to see my mom watching tb joshua where a guy was giving a testimony of how the holy spirit healed him of a serious leg injury years ago, he was being grilled by a guy with a mic to add more effect and show how awesome the testimony was, so i sat on a chair close to my mom and was watching the tv closely when suddenly a big smile flashed on my face, after a few seconds i took a peek at my mom and noticed her staring at me expecting me to say something cos she knew i was always skeptical about things like this, i just smiled at her,stood up and left while suppressing the laughter building up in me, but why did i smile in the first place right at spot where the injury was which was supposedly healed by the hole-ly spirit was a very big scar, and i thought if the holy spirit could heal such injury then why cant it heal the scar?

All I'm concerned about is the noise they make.
I slept very late yesterday and early this morning, just when the sleep was beginning to set in, I was robbed of my sleep by members of winners chapel

You guys just not never learn... Smh

Really?

Ok! So you, the light and the salt of the world should please teach us about your faulty faith.

Even when I was a Christian, I stopped praying when I could no longer deceive myself any longer. It was all obvious to me that I was talking to myself and that no any sky daddy up there was busy processing and working on my petitions.

You people will pray against a problem and at the end of the day, you will as well become the pioneer of the solution "the administrator of your own success " and at the end, you will climb that your stupid alter in your nonsensical gathering (church) and will testify how God (in place of your own ability and initiative) provided the solution miraculously.

You know...... Apart from being cajoled by people, the day you can no longer deceive yourself is the day the burning sensation, guts and the curiosity to question your religious belief begins and to as well decline and detach them if they are found guilty of been delusional.

Bill Gates mother once questioned him that what was he doing, but the little kid replied "Mum, I am thinking".

Today, the product of his thought is apparently evident to the world. It cannot be deny.

millions of Christians are praying and a little kid was busy thinking. Now, the whole world are benefitting from his thoughts while your prayers constitute nothing but nuisance to the community.

Imagine that he was praying, what would have been the fate of his destiny and that of the entire human race

Prayer to me is nothing but a reflection and an expression of a mind that is too lazy to think, plan and take accurate judgement.

It is nothing but the religious way of shifting responsibility and wishfully hoping for an unknown hand to anticipate it and deliver a positive results.

I will rather think than to waste my lifetime praying to an in-existing imaginary sky brother.

If not that the Christians can't think, 3 young dudes were executed on the cross (same day), and one out of smartness, greediness, and an eternal lust for fame and abiding popularity nominated himself as the saviour of mankind.

Gush...

But if you really "think" as you claim, whether or not you accept the existence of God, you'll know that there's actually something greater than us all.. Only people who have balanced thoughts come to that conclusion

Seun:
But do you agree that prayer does not work? Would you accept the observation that the "thing greater than us", even if it exists, evidently doesn't answer prayers?

Lennycool:
The experiment goes like this, next time you have a physically visible injury (I insist on visible because most so called healings are just placebo effects that alter our mental state, if its visible no matter how well you feel the cut would still be there, your altered mind has little effect on the physical) , like a cut on your skin, a burn e.t.c you should pray to God to heal you. If prayer really worked you should be healed in a matter of minutes or atmost an hour.
But many reading this already know the prayer won't work and might already be coming up with these excuses

Faith: If it doesn't work most might come up with the excuse that they don't have enough faith, yet Jesus said that if only you possess faith as small as a mustard seed you should be able to move mountains, so that much faith shouldn't be required for a simple injury.

Testing God: Again most might come up with the excuse that they are testing God, but again this would be wrong, you have an injury and you're in pain, you ask your heavenly father to heal you. How is this testing God?

God has his own time:,Another excuse might be that God takes his time, but again this is just another attempt to deny the obvious, why should God wait that long to heal you of something that is presently causing you pain?

You can't deny the obvious, the prayer won't work because no one is answering them.

The Templeton foundation has even carried out research on prayers, and found them even detrimental to the health of sick patients.

I wondered wat u guys stand to gain in all dz anti-Christ post... Jesus lived over 2000years a lot.. a lot of people have stood against His teaching and want the name Jesus to be forgotten. has dz happened? nope... Jesus is still known today rather its those anti-Christ that are no where to be found... if u don't believe in Jesus why not just ignore him n preach ur own faith.. as regards the healing part, why wasting time praying for healing when am already sure God has made my body to heal itself.. healing of cut is only prolong if the wound is exposed to microorganism... any medication u apply is jus to curb microorganisms effect...naturally Wtout any side effect, the body is made to heal itself... its jus DAT most of u gv credits to scientist who discovered it rather than God who made it DAT way....

This is like saying, do you agree that requests do not work on Nairaland and/or with the god of Nairaland

Requests example can be like:
#1 I want the god of Nairaland to directly and personally by ''itself'', change my Nairaland ID password for me
#2 I want the god of Nairaland to let me recklessly post in the Islam forum uncontrolled
#3 I want the god of Nairaland to overrule or revoke the posting ban imposed on me by the Anti Spam bot
#4 I want the god of Nairaland to unhide all my posts auto-hidden by the frisky Antispam bot
#5 I am unregistered on Nairaland but I now want to start posting on threads
#6 I want a pink Nairaland page layout

It's a no brainer, if you too, would accept the observation that the god of Nairaland greater than the mere Nairaland frequent visitor,
even if this god exists, evidently doesn't answer ALL requests?

If wishes were horses...
Simply praying for something is not sufficient to make it happen, especially when there is something amiss in and about the prayer request
