god does answer prayers!

Evidently the exchange rate between prayers and miraculous blessings is a bit steep. At that rate, if you prayed for wealth you'd probably find a penny in the street, if you prayed for happiness, you might be erroneously sent a worn out vhs copy of an Ernest movie in the mail, and if you prayed for healing from terminal cancer, you'd be lucky to find an extra aspirin in a box you thought was empty.
Either that or this tragic wreck is getting way, way too desperate to see some kind of answer to his prayers. A goldfish as a friend. That's so sad and pathetic it makes me feel physically uncomfortable.
She could at least have got you a dog. Your fish is probably not even aware of your existence.
What a mean-spirited mum: she probably heard your prayer, and that's the best she could come up with. What you need to do is get out more, if she'll let you, and make some real friends of your own. Human ones.
You probably don't go to school, but that's where real friends are made.

Either this guy is seven, or this is incredibly pathetic (and funny). But if this guy thinks this is actually any kind of proof that prayer works, maybe he and the fish will get along. After all, they would have similar levels of intelligence.
I almost feel bad making fun of him though. Oh well.
I kinda feel sorry for this one. I'm gonna have to say I'm glad that he at least has a pet to keep him company, even if it's just a fish.
Actually, I hope he gets a lot of friends, human or otherwise. Lonely = sad. No more sads, plz!
"Two days later, the fish ran away."
He grew legs and walked out of the tank, see, because they didn't have it covered.
Oh, you mean you were praying for a friend to come hang with you since you haven't got any friends.
Fish are food, not friends.
You should get some real friends. It might help if you actually got off your butt and went looking.
Oh no, this convinces me! It really constitutes proof of God's existence, and confirms that he answers prayers!
Unfortunately, it also demonstrates that his powers are limited to conjuring goldfish. No wonder he's not much help in most situations: "Sorry about your cancer, poverty and despair. Here's a goldfish. It's all I've got."
Your proof is not reproducible. All I got was a geranium. How can a geranium be a friend? (Ooops, Gerry overheard me talking, now I've gotta go apologize. He's an OK friend I guess, as long as he's been watered and turned towards the light).
"proof. i prayed last week for a friend and the very next day mum come home with a fish in a tank."
I'm confused...what the fuck does that prove, exactly?
Pray to the milk jug...
and get a yes, no, wait, or HERE'S a friend for you, fuckwit!
"I have a buddy,
'god does answer prayers!
What were you praying for? Of course Jeremy doesn't say that.
Proof God doesn't answer prayers: I once prayed that a bully would stop harassing me. Instead, things only got worse. That was when I lost my faith & never believed again.
Wow. I don't even want to comment on this one, sarcasm or otherwise. This isn't a fundie thing, it's a sad child thing. I hope he gets more friends soon. Preferably smarter ones.
So, youre implying that your mom is God? I guess she would be, she did create your ass, with your dad's sperm....
Please be a little kid, Please be a little kid, Please be a little kid. Even if it is a child, this is just sad.
God can cure AIDS, solve world hunger, and stop the war with just a snap of a finger, but He'll pass all that just to give you a cute little fishy.
Nice to see God has His priorities in order.
Coincidence. Look it up in the dictionary. Oh yes, and I don't think a fish in the tank was quite the best friend you could have wished for, which suggests that god is either a) thick, b) has an impish sense of humour or c) knows he created an idiot who would be pleased with the cheapest animal in the Heavenly Pet Store Inc.
If this is for real, I feel so very sad for this kid. Not in an arrogant, 'you-suck-what-a-loser' kind of way, but truly sad. When I was a kid, all the kids I went to school with were racist fundies. So yeah, my friends were fish too. Not a good way to spend a childhood.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
