Have you seen this above video yet? The free thinking individual who authored this video alleges to prove that God is imaginary by exposing the fallacious logic that Christians, allegedly, are not intelligent enough to recognize that they have been duped into believing, ever since they first claimed to have faith. By claiming that we readily accept a yes, no, or wait response to any prayer request we make to an invisible God, choosing to trust that He knows what’s best for us in the event we don’t seem to get an immediate response, we create a “no lose” scenario for God, or anything else, and that whatever coincidental result we ultimately realize, would have been exactly the same had we prayed to something like, for example, an inanimate jug of milk.
So, what say you? Is prayer truly nothing more than empty and powerless words? Is the Almighty God truly just a figment of humanity’s imagination? Is praying to God really no different than praying to a jug of milk?
My two cents worth? Praying to God is much different than praying to a jug of milk because:
1) There is no all-time best selling book of books in existence that was allegedly authored by a milk jug, yet God has one in the Bible available in many languages and many versions in each language. Also, if you’re a non-believer then you would notice that God has many competing books of scripture followed by many different people groups.
2) No-one looks at the magnificence of nature or one of the everyday miracles like the birth of a baby and thinks, there must be some supernatural milk-jug that created this all....yet people commonly attribute these thoughts to an existence of a God
3) God is eternal and independent of both time and His creation while the jug and the milk in it, is created matter and dependent to the ravages of time.... ie. God’s Love, Grace, Mercy, and ability to respond will remain eternally capable and reliant whereas the milk in the jug will quickly sour, spoil and rot.
4) God tells you in His Word why your prayer remains apparently unanswered (James 1:6-7, James 4:3) whereas the milk jug remains speechless. 😶
5) You can completely drink all the milk out of the jug till it’s dry, yet you can spend your entire lifetime drinking from the living water of God’s Word and yet still find it as inexhaustibly full, fresh, and refreshing as it was when you took your first sip.
I probably could go on if I tried, but hopefully you find my answer to be complete enough as it is....
