Now before you begin with your hate/troll comments (i.e. "I'M NOT AN ATHEIST! GOD IS REAL!") think about this for a second with me, religious people are supposed to trust God right? Whether you're christian or jewish, you're taught to trust God. Have you ever stopped at a stoplight or a stopsign? Have you ever taken a pill or gone to the doctor? Have you ever asked another person for a favor? Then you aren't trusting that God will make everything happy, rosy, and perfect. Therefore, you do not believe in him 100%. Q.E.D. You're an Atheist! Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

This is the same thing as George Carlin's argument exactly. He talks about prayer, and saying that it's pointless to pray because you'll intervene in God's plan. So if you do indeed pray, and your pray doesn't get answered, then the reasoning is, it's God will be done...so if it was God's will in the first place, what's the point of praying?

I actually ripped this from Penn from Penn and Teller. But yeah, I came up with George Carlin's argument long before I even heard of him.

(I get your point) BUT it is also said that no magic, or prayer can work if you don't do anything in the mundane (real) world. Can pray all you want to win the lottery but you are out of luck if you never buy a ticket.

I guess I don't understand what you're saying?

Finally, something for people to actually think about.

When I clicked on this I thought it was going to be about how everyone rejects thousands of gods, and how atheists just reject 1 more.   This works too, though.
