Atheists more Intelligent

Why do religious fundamentalists think if you don't convert it's because you didn't understand?

We teach math to kids but don't expect everyone to become a mathematician. Can't you understand math without having to 'convert' to being a professional mathematician?

You slow or sumpthin'? Prayers are conversations with God. He answers every time with his Word by the Holy Spirit.
Sometimes yes, sometimes no, sometimes wait...but he always answers. :cool:

Also known as the gambler's paradox. When God does does not reward you, you double down because you are invested in the system.
 
When Trump's prayers aren't answered the way he wants, Trump goes in a temper tantrum, is this the appropriate way to accept the answer to your prayers ?????????

God does not conduct Pavlov's dog experiments for material/physical gain. You might seek out temporary gains in this very brief life.
That's very shallow and meaningless. You've set the bar very low for an earthly reward...a reward you can't take with you.

My point is that gamblers are actually motivated by loss and bet even more money trying to recuperate their loss.
God answering your prayer is like winning. God saying "no" or delaying is like losing. The gambler is like the prayerful--no response will keep them from gambling or praying.

You have no clue. You live for the temporal perishable world. You do not understand things or the ways of God. You do not have faith. And, that's your choice.
I already said that God answers ALL prayers of the believer. So, stick with the world if you like. No "earthly sign" would satisfy you anyway. You wouldn't even
acknowledge it if jumped up and smacked you in the face.

And the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and to test Him they asked Him to show them a sign from heaven. He answered them, “When it is evening, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.’ And in the morning, ‘It will be stormy today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times. An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.” So He left them and departed.
Mat 16:1-4

Conversations are a two way street, dumbfuck. He answers with “his Word by the Holy Spirit? What in the fuck does that even mean? So, this Holy Spirit speaks to you instead of your god?

That your imagination gins up some kind of “answer” is meaningless. The question was “who has had a conversation with your god?” That means whose god has actually spoken to you?

So far, nothing but gibberish.

Some kind of god you have. Reward and punishment system. Altruism by non-believers is meaningless and punishable.

Fuck that kind of petty and shallow god.

Trump is an atheist. He already said he does not pray or care what a god thinks.
