]]> Comment on Prayer to God Doesn’t Work by Outlaw http://rationalapologetics.wordpress.com/2008/02/13/prayer-to-god-doesnt-work/#comment-43 Outlaw Thu, 22 Jan 2009 18:29:49 +0000 http://rationalapologetics.wordpress.com/?p=4#comment-43 I woke up and came across this site this morning. Last night and I don't know why I kept hearing my older sister say after having some hard times, trust me brother, I've tried praying and it doesen't work! At a different time in life, (I'm 41 years old) my older brother say's I am blessed but not him. He has tried praying and it doesen't work (though they both believe GOD exists). What kept going through my mind and I don't know why (these conversations were years ago) was the word Tried! You can't try GOD out! Kick the tires, take him for a spin. God is not a high blood pressure, cancer, colesterol or obesity drug to be tried out! GOD excepts relations like any father asks of his son. I would like to give my son enough but not so much that he doesen't learn how to take care of himself. When being asked for somthing from family or friends I prefere the ones who have spent some time with me before asking for something over the one who comes by just to hit you up. GOD is not your other option when all else fails. Clearly the bible says to put GOD first! I am no preacher! I am a construction worker who drinks beer most days of the week and say my fair share of cuss words daily. I enjoy sex like most of us and have a past with racing cars illegally and recreational drugs (most all of them). I am not holy and not qualfied to teach (Don't slam me to hard, though I can take it if you do) but most people do not put in that much effort into anything before giving up, and then we need a scape goat since we did not succeed! This is long and I have said most of what I needed. I woke up and came across this site this morning.

There is so much evil to count against any god but enough good for us to appreciate life. Some think we cannot so aver,as Michale Peterson notes in "God and Evil, since then if all the evil hadn't happen we would not be here. That is a paradox. Evil counts against any god ,but that is independent of our valuing life. Theists have a cop-out in that they claim that if God doesn't responds with yes to prayers, then He has a reason for that.But they don't know that and that seems to be an argument from ignorance to me.

I like to put it this way: is the beauty of a flower in any way diminished by its wilting? Additionally, if there were an afterlife, what would the point of this life be? A supposedly perfect, blissful existence after this one, makes this one - beautiful though it is - pale and empty, because there is much suffering mixed with the beauty. I am reminded by your post of one of my favorite Camus quotes: "If there is a sin against life, it consists perhaps not so much in despairing of life as in hoping for another life and in eluding the implacable grandeur of this life." -Albert Camus, The Myth of Sisyphus I wish more people could realize the truth of this.

I certainly didn't mean that. My point was that the end of life emphasizes the life -- if it weren't for the knowledge of death, many would live differently. Death, while the absence of beauty itself, ironically impacts our lives to make them more beautiful. I agree, though, that this could very well be relative to the person doing the living. ;-) Agreed — the shorter isn’t the better. I certainly didn’t mean that.

It seems incredibly sad to me that people need God to explain the beautiful things in the world. That said, I don't think being short is what makes life precious. It seems that would imply that shorter lives are inherently more meaningful, and that the longer a person lives, or a relationship, etc., is, the less meaning it has.
