Your move, atheists. Pray tell, how do you explain that one?

It's called a coincidence you stupid cunt

*Yawn*. Anyway, to address the "substance" of your post, the Lord answers about 80% of my prayers in the positive. That's a far better rate than a coin flip, or science for that matter. So try again.

Your move, Christians. How do you explain the billions of unanswered prayers from objectively good people with unselfish desires?

Anyway, I'm pretty sure a demon granted your wish because Jesus would tell you to endure and chastise you for wanting anything other than the best for your "annoying loser" coworker. You failed the test.

that or more likely op made up the entire scenario

Your brains are so far gone. How rich!

Sorry, that wasn't a valid response. I'm not going to answer your question and let you move the conversation farther from the point. Address it, or concede.
>I'm pretty sure a demon...
No, you're just making that up based on nothing. Try again. (Oh, and those flames just got hotter. Make no mistake.)

If it's real, then please pray so that my life improves. Thanks.

>>17847996
Done.

Small problem: Christians are known for telling the truth. So you don't have such a clean heuristic. You're just pretending.

>Christians are known for telling the truth
Religious people trust other religious people more than nonreligious people, while nonreligious people trust other nonreligious people more than religious people. Shocking. Beyond that a quick google for actual studies testing for differences in honesty between religious people and nonreligious people seems mixed. This page https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/abs/cheating-corruption-and-concealment/religion-deception-and-selfdeception/6D6899252C1FA1E75B7117A446B788FF says that "Decades of research on religiosity and honesty have failed to find any consistent relationship, save for a reliable correlation between religiosity and socially desirable responding." But it also says that atheists judge believers to be morally superior to fellow atheists based on one study, which seems wildly wrong to me and inconsistent with the picrel 2019 pew research where less than 1% of atheists said religious people were more trustworthy than non-religious people, and 35% said nonreligious were more trustworthy than religious. So I don't know about the study the above linked page used for that claim.

Cool! That's not the issue at hand. I said Christians, not "religious people". Have fun burning.

I know, I know. I'll try to have fun. Whether or not you're honest, surely no one can fault your enthusiastic well-wishing even for those of us destined for hell.
