[Does God listen when catholics pray?]

The reason I ask this is that a co-worker's father has just recently been diagnosed with cancer (they are very catholic). The doctor's didn't know how bad it was until further testing could be done. Just today this co-worker said that the doctors say that the prognosis looks good. When she was telling us she said "thank you everyone for all of your prayers". She was telling this to me and two other girls. The two other girls are Catholic, I am the only saved Christian.

So I feel like the only prayer that counted was mine and that God doesn't even listen to their prayers. Could that be so or am I sounding a bit arrogant to even think that?

That's not a bit arrogant. That's really fucking arrogant. And I say that as a "know-it-all-super-arrogant-atheist."

You're an arrogant fuckwit. Catholics believe that Jesus Christ was the Messiah and are thus, by definition, Christians.
Their prayers and yours are listened to just as much as the prayers of Muslims, Hindus, Jews, Sikhs, et al.
That is not at all.

No, of course not.

You don't sound a "bit" arrogant. You sound extremely, gut-wrenchingly, vomit-inducing, hell-worthy arrogant.

I'm gonna go with that nobody's prayers were carried out by God, as prayer is useless outside the realm of spiritual enlightment, if you choose to believe it.

Rhetorical question?

But even this kind of eye-popping, mind-splinterin' arrogance is quite at home at RR. They're mostly assuring her that it isn't arrogance, it's just tough love.

Pucci, the small-minded and vicious God you worship is not a God for all of humanity. He's a God for you and your tiny sect only. Of course he'll ignore the prayers of all others.

Your arrogance is staggering. Somebody was diagnosed with cancer and you're thinking you're the reason the prognosis looks good? You people make me sick.

at least somebody on that thread called pucci on the arrogance.

You should go with that 'arrogant' feeling. It seems to fit you.

So what you are really saying is: "I think I single handedly saved some girl's father from death without lifting a finger because even though all theists pretty much use the same means of talking to God, I think I'm the only one that has a direct line to his cellphone because I can just tell the almighty creator of the universe likes me more. His own body and the doctors had nothing to do with it, it was ALL ME!!! (oh and god too. *cough*) Is that arrogant?"

"So I feel like..."

Your feelings are irrelevant to the issue at hand. The words you were looking for are, "I think..."

"Could that be so or am I sounding a bit arrogant to even think that?"

Yes. Yes you are incredibly arrogant to think that.

You are arrogant. Islam is the real religion. God listens to Osama bin Ladens prayers but not yours.

God only listens to members of the one true faith, the Western Branch of American Reform Presbylutheranism.

You sound like a complete ass, and I would heavily wager that the majority of your friends, family, and nieghbors, think so too.

A bit arrogant? Nobody wants to listen to you speak, let alone a (fictional) supreme being.

I used to be Catholic. I found out that I get better results when I stopped praying.
