(11,183 posts)What does this say about their god?
A. It doesn't care about the plight of Utah unless the citizens there raise invisible requests en masse?
B. It does care but needs the magic power of invisible requests to make something happen?
C. It is so disinterested in the plight of humanity (specifically those in Utah) that it requires a lot of invisible shouting to pay attention?
D. It is a psychopathic entity that enjoys the spectacle of a bunch of measly humans pleading for help?
E. It is a minor god with limited power so needs the invisible requests to present to higher gods in order to enlist their help? Damn celestial red tape!
F. It is an incredibly narcissistic god that just wants people to remember that IT is in charge and they need to ask for help?
This is the 21st century and we are still sending up invisible requests to deities to enact change in the natural world. Why not try human sacrifice? I swear...
Oh, and to those who suggest we leave them alone and just let them pray because it hurts no one, I say "baloney". It hurts us all when we have leaders who refuse to look at scientific reasons for climate change but yet just tell followers that all they have to do is pray. It is imperative for those who use reason and science in daily life to point out the logical inconsistencies in religious/spiritual thought.
