I know i am exceedingly late in getting to this topic. but i believe i can move a mountain. God doesnt just do stuff the way you see it. you can tell a physical mountain to be moved and while your telling the mountian to be moved some high up business people are discussing how they can break down the exact mountian u just told God u want to be moved. I cant tell u how many times I have said to the sky on a day where there were no clouds in the sky "please give me some shade" and all of a sudden clouds come out of no where and it starts raining. or how many times i have told God on snowy days "God please let this snow storm skip over maryland and we barely saw snow that year.I even asked God this winter to allow it to be a little warmer than normal and if u all live in maryland u will remember how warm it was until december 27th. so to say that Jesus lied is a lie. because i have experienced it for myself, and i know for myself that it is real, and it is possible.

Dude, that's God peeing on you for being such an ass.
How wonderful! You discovered this miraculous power and a direct line to god and you use it to provide you with shade because you're too fucking lazy to find a tree or go inside?
If your shithouse rat insanity WERE true, this person would thank you for being so selflish.

Whooops. Too late. Guess god didn't give a fuck about those descendents of Ham in Africa, huh?
Then pray for rain in drought-stricken areas in Africa. Jesus told you that when you give a drink to the least of His brethren, you are actually giving it to Him. Oops, my bad -- that's a part of Scripture that fundies ignore.
Yeah, I'd say you are exceedingly late in getting to this topic - considing it's been more than 2000 years since jesus promised his followers they'd have no trouble performing this little feat. But, as I recall, jesus was notorious for failing to keep his promises.
"Weather prayers," no matter who they are, fucking piss me off. A few years back a local Pagan group claimed to have "turned a hurricane" away from Louisiana. It went to Florida and killed seven people, but none of the "mages" wanted to take credit for that.
Of course God goes out of his way to prevent the uncomfort of snow to come to maryland. I mean, why would he fix global warming, world hunger and AIDS, that effects only homosexuals and black people, right Prophet?[/sarcasm]
Alrighty, then. If you think you have so much faith, let's you see try this:
Get the church you go to (I'm assuming you go to one) to have its entire staff and its members (in other words, everyone in said church) to pray and have faith that there will be no tropical cyclones in any ocean basin for the rest of 2008 and the entire year of 2009. Keep believing. Keep on praying. Have that "faith" as you put it. I dare you. I double dog dare you. But regardless of how much the church and yourself pray and believe (assuming you were even stupid enough to do that), that will never happen. Never ever ever.
Come on, it should work if you have faith shouldn't it? I'm not sure if anyone will check this since it's so old, but I had to put my two cents in.
'Moving' a mountain is easy - you just erect an SEP field around it.
Teaching compassion, responsibility, tolerance and simple common sense to fundies, though... I tend towards thinking it impossible, myself.

Magick works, but there is always consequences.
Obviously they didn't cover all their bases with that one.
As a Wiccan, my specialty is weather magick. Saved my butt on the interstate a few times when I couldn't see because of the pouring rain.
Congrats P2NT, you've done magick, and you seem to have a slip of talent for it.
Are you kidding me? So in other words, you think that God loves you enough to send you personal rain showers when you're hot, but ignores the Christians being murdered in Africa and the Middle East? And what about all the children that die every day, all around the world?
And fuck the folks who prayed for more snow and less rain.
Next time, try praying for some grammar lessons.
I cant tell u how many times I have said to the sky on a day where there were no clouds in the sky "please give me some shade" and all of a sudden clouds come out of no where and it starts raining.
I can't tell you because the answer is zero, and that totally undercuts my argument!
What about the countless wars in human history, where always both sides pray to god for victory? Can belief ensure victory?
Seems this god faces a quite difficult dilemma...
So, God answers your prayers for shade, but refrains from answering the prayers in West Africa to find a cure for Ebola, and heal those who are dying from it?
Why should we worship that God of yours, again?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
