What Has God Ever Done For You
217 Answers
That you could never have done for yourself anyway?
Theres always lots of debates on AB (or at least r&s) about the existence of God, creation v evolution, the historicity of the Bible etc.
But very simply, what has this 'Being' ever done for YOU?
When I was a teenage fundementalist' Christian I was very taken with stories about how God had helped someone find their lost car keys after a prayer or how someones Aunt Aggie had recovered from an operation. (After a prayer of course).
The Bible tells us that if we pray in faith, that mountains can be moved. Jesus (allegedly) says that his followers will do even greater things than he.
If this is the case, then why arn't christians active in hospital prayer in childrens cancer wards?
Why dont amputees ever grow a limb back after prayer?, Why has Maddie never been found despite the prayers of thousands of christians? Why are there so many people still ill (even terminal) after recieving prayer?
What has God ever done for you, that you didnt do for yourself?

//Muslim suicide bombers derive comfort from their faith as well.//
Absolutely right. On the planes that were flown into the Twin Towers on 9/11, none were as devout as the people responsible. They willingly and voluntarily gave their lives for their faith.
Faith used to give me a great deal of comfort - but I know now I was kidding myself. Once you start to think of creation you wonder why a loving, all powerful, god would create disease, why he would wish people to suffer - and none of it makes any sense whatsoever. If the promise of eternal life wasn't dangled before those afraid of death, God would be redundant.
