#Prayer

While studying Islam I ran into his story. Apparently Muhhamed went to the 7th level of heaven and God gave him 50 prayers to give to the Muslims. He went down to the 5th Heaven and told Moses about the 50 prayers. 

Moses convinced him to jew down the number of prayers, so Moses goes back up to the 7 th heaven and jews them down to 40 then back to Moses who said "too many"

This went back and forth several times until Muhhamed with the help of Moses Jewett God down to 5 prayers and then Moses told Muhhamed "Good job" . 

And that is why Muslims pray 5 times a day now.

All of you that woke up today, you live another day.

In the mind of an terminally ill person.

How would you prepare living out a prognosis of 6 months remainder of life?

How would you prepare mentally ?

What would change?

Would you still continue to do what you do such as a day like today?

Would you keep debating on here even in hospice?

Would you post "If I forfeit next round", have a moment of silence?

If you were just sentenced to life penal imprisonment, how would you mentally prepare?

What could you imagine your day to day routines would be?

Would you work on getting accustomed to solitary confinement life or work harder on appeals to reduce or cut out the sentence?

Would you take execution over life imprisonment?

What method of execution would you choose?

What would be your last meal?

How indeed would you mentally prepare for your execution coming up in the next for hours?

Would you ask for a priest?

Who would you make your final phone call to or visit with?

Please give an answer to every one of these for inspiration sake because it may be very helpful for me whom you may not believe is posting all of this while on death row.

Every time some atheist trots out the tired "prayer experiment", I can't help but doubt it as I know no real scientist could be that stupid.

To help you see the abject stupidity of prayer experiments, let's do one now. And let's use you as God, (we'll call you Godson) and your kids as the believers who are to pray to you.

Let's say you have 6 children, and this experiment is trying to find out if the prayers of your children work.

So each kid will ask you for something, and we will see if that request is answered. Clear so far?

Now before the kids start praying, answer a few questions.

1. Will Godson know an experiment is being conducted?

2. Will Godson be able to control the results of the experiment?

3. Will the results of the experiment be dependable if someone inside the experiment can control the results?

4. Will Godson be more interested in the safety and happiness of his children, or the results of the experiment?

OK now. Prayer time!

Kid one, 14 year old Tony: Can you please stay at work late tonight so I can shag my gf?

Kid two, 12 year old Anne: Can you get me a boob job? My breasts are too small.

Kid three, 10 year old Carl: I want to be a cowboy. Can you make me a cowboy?

Kid four, 9 year old Beth: Carl wants to be a cowboy and shoot bad guys, but shooting people is bad. Please don't let Carl become a cowboy.

Kid five, 7 year old Matt: Can I have a gun so that Tony won't bully me anymore?

Kid six, 5 year old Sasha: Chocolate! Lots and lots of chocolate!

Answers of Godwin.

To Tony: Are you nuts?

To Anne: Are you nuts?

To Carl: Are you nuts?

To Beth: Don't worry.

To Matt: Are you nuts?

To Sasha: No.

Experiment conclusion

Prayer doesn't work.

Would any real scientist consider this a real test of the efficacy of prayer?

*To be a valid experiment, the test subject (Godwin) cannot know he is being tested, or else he can control the results of the experiment rendering the test invalid.

*Godwin has standards that affect whether he answers prayer and how he answers. For example, Matt not getting a gun is not a sign that prayer doesn't work.

Anyone know of a way to do a blind test on God? The whole scientific "prayer experiment" is nothing but retarded stupidity.

But clueless atheists keep trotting it out. And more educated atheist pretend they don't see the thread.
