Right. Maybe.
Every time we elect the GOP, they fuck up the economy, every time we elect Dems, they prioritize fixing the economy. Every time.
Only divine interaction can be credited.
“Then again, perhaps it wasn’t. Only God knows.”
Or anyone with an attetnion span. Not you, of course…
“The fact is that we have no idea what happened.”
You more than anyone, Ray.
“However, one thing we do know is that answered or unanswered prayer has nothing to do with God’s existence.”
Didn’t YOU argue that if god made the universe, the universe is evidence of god? Was that you?
So, if God answers prayers, then answered prayers would be proof of god?
“My wife has a Dodge Caravan. Let’s say it has a problem. What would be my intellectual capacity if I concluded that it had no manufacturer simply because I couldn’t contact them about the dilemma?”
Your analogies suck wind, Ray. They always have. You cannot postulate a naturalistic system that would produce a Caravan. the torque specs alone are unnatural. Not the same for the Universe.
“The fact of their existence has nothing to do with whether or not they return my calls.”
I’d think if they didn’t exist, that would have a LOT to do with their silence, Ray. Where did you learn logic, bumper cars?
