I love that answer. "Well, if you weren't saved as per the way I think you should have been, that must mean YOU screwed up somehow." I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that you refuse to acknowledge the possibility that, just perhaps, your "pray and Jesus will save you" rhetoric is wrong.

You said you prayed to be saved and it did not happen, how did you come to that conclusion? Or were you unaware that you were probably 3 feet from gold and you just gave up?
Failure is 100% guaranteed when:
1. Inaction is all you give.
2. Stopping when your 3 feet from gold, because your minds fears, doubts, intellectual cloud guided you into quitting.
Of course that's just me. And no man, you don't have to answer my question. Well, hope you enjoyed your Halloween as I did...

If my "intellectual cloud" guides me into doing something, it's probably for a very good reason. Most of the time, people get hurt when they DON'T use their brain.
Christians, how have you not blown yourselves up by now? Surely you would have ignored your intellect to the point that you'd drop a toaster in the bath or something, right? Seriously...
When I said that my prayers for salvation, which were driven by more sincerity and honest hope and longing than I can put in to words, went unanswered, you blamed me. You stated that it was MY fault your god chose to ignore me. You just can fathom, can you, that perhaps the reason my prayers went unanswered is because your god doesn't exist?

I will acknowledge if I understand. Please explain to me bud. I'm not sure what you meant, what do you think I don't acknowledge?

My post got removed the other night and all I was doing was defending the American people against some fool who said the East Coast deserved the damage done by Hurricane Sandy, yet this person is allowed to talk trash like this without their post getting removed?
What's going on here, mods? So, if I had agreed with that person the other night and claimed also that the East Coast deserved everything they got, then my post would have remained? A bit ridiculous, don't you think?
I would like for a mod to send me a private message explaining to me why my post the other night was removed, yet posts like this are allowed to remain. Explain to me why a post defending innocent victims of a hurricane was removed, yet a post like this, which has absolutely nothing to do with Halloween and its evil origins, is allowed to remain.

Exactly how does intellect cloud someone? Last I knew, in a battle between faith and intellect, faith isn't the one that's driven by facts and concrete data...
That's not a cloud, that's a car. Faith is the cloud where you don't have to worry about anything, you just drift along and trust you're not about to go over a cliff...because in my experience, trusting my life to the fates as worked really well.
Hint: life has a sick sense of humor.
Apology accepted. However, you are still placing the onus on me. This shows, again, that you seem to be incapable of admitting, just perhaps, you are wrong about prayer and salvation by your god.

People need to lay off that relationship between the commercialized trick or treating and the pagan worship stuff. Many kids are ostrasized at school because they're parents won't let them dress up as a costume. to a lot of kids that's the whole world and it can actually tramatize a kid for life. So that side of it I that parents should just let there kids go trick or treating and have fun.
So by that logic, we should also then allow all the little ones to carry cancer causing mobile phones, so they may too further 'fit in' with this broken society's 'mainstream mold' that is toxic to the core, and that for all it's rampant godlessness (voidness of Truth) has no sense of what is right or wrong anymore clearly by the consensus of responses.
The fact that Helloween is associated with the death promoting distribution of toxic sugar is most fitting, as most are too ignorant and spiritually overcome to realise what they are actually giving reverence to in this occultic celebration. I applaud the few wise parents who know what this seemingly 'harmless' caper is all about when the master of cunning and deception Lucifer knows just how to entice-- with everything that seems so 'sweet and innocent and fun' that has families worldwide partaking in a ritual adhering to all that represents the spiritual death and it's becoming, void of Life.

I think that your idea is silly.

So, that is all it takes, prayer? If we pray to your god, with sincere desire to be saved an delivered in to knowing "the Truth," we will be?
