“Believers often forget that most atheists used to be religious, that many non-believers used to think they had a personal relationship with their God and they used to 'feel' the power of prayer. They've since learned that it was all a farce, that their feelings were internal emotions and not some external force.” ThinkingFeelsFeelingsUsedForceReligiousPrayerForgetEmotionAtheistBelieverUsed To BeInternalsPersonal RelationshipsFarceNon BelieverExternal Forces Author:David G.

“Prayer doesn’t work. Perhaps it makes the believer feel better (in the same way that meditation or deep thought would), but prayer doesn’t actually affect the external world. Not only is it ineffective, but it is also a very narcissistic practice… why would a 'God' change its 'Divine Plan' to accommodate any person’s wishes?” WorldWayFeelsPersonsWishPrayerPracticeMeditationPlansDivineBelieverFeel BetterDeep ThoughtEffectivenessNarcissisticAccommodateExternalities Author:David G.

“Miracles are commonplace in religious scripture. Our ancient ancestors are said to have felt Jesus' wounds, verified Muhammad's ascent to heaven, and even interacted with their respective deities directly. Today, believers have no such luxury. They are forced to rely on blind faith that these things occurred, that people were at one time able to overcome or render inert natural laws.” PeopleSaidTodayAbleLawJesusHeavenFeltNaturalReligiousOvercomingMiracleBlindAncientBelieverWoundsScriptureLuxuryRelyOne TimeAncestorDeitiesCommonplaceMuhammadNatural LawBlind FaithAscent Author:David G.
