I understand why people like fukk it and become an Athiest. :yeshrug:


When i was a young nikka in my innocence, pre-porn, i clasped my hands together, closed my eyes and prayed to God, Jesus, desperately asking for help for my chronic illness. and guess what... nothing happened.

you learn to accept your flaws but your faith goes out the window.

The only time i pray now is when i'm shook, that's the only time it feels genuine.

I left the church around 16 :yeshrug:



Tell me about times your prayers have been answered because mine haven't.

This the only thing that makes me feel good :wow:

I used to always pray the night before parent teacher conference because I knew I was going to get my ass beat in front of all my teachers and friends. Sometimes it worked and my mom was too busy to show up. Other times, I caught epic ass whoopings in front of the entire school. I say prayer was 50/50 for me so I kept playing the odds.

See here's the thing, we perceive it . If you get a result "prayer works", if you don't "you need faith".... I probably had more success not praying.

:russ: this is why i left the church.
Isaiah 66:1-5

1 Thus saith the Lord, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest?

2 For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the Lord: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.

3 He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, as if he cut off a dog's neck; he that offereth an oblation, as if he offered swine's blood; he that burneth incense, as if he blessed an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations.

4 I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not.

5 Hear the word of the Lord, ye that tremble at his word; Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name's sake, said, Let the Lord be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed.

I say the lord's prayer and it's like the current state of my life flashing before eyes. Good to say in the morning.

When I say it I usually don't do the evil things I'm compelled to do.

Scripture says you don't need to waste a lot of time praying. It's all wrapped up in the prayer

:mjlol: at that pic.


I hear you breh. I don't care for the church but my faith in God is still there.

God has come through for me many times in ways I never expected, and when I was about to give up hope. Also, when I didn't lose hope I was rewarded.

I just read the Bible when I can, but I don't care for these clowns jumping up and down in church acting like uncooth fools.
