What has God done for you? (Christians only!)

You dont listen very well do you? God has done plenty for plenty of people. Because they asked for it and believed he would give it.

Perhaps... or is it possible they did it for themselves, and the concept of "God" merely acted as a motivator? Theoretically a friend comes by and tells me my house is on fire. I run, and break a speed record - but my house isn't on fire, the bastard was joking. Anyway - the fire didn't break the record, I did, merely motivated by the idea of fire.

People are capable of a lot. All I was saying was that people without faith in a God also achieve such things. Still, you can attribute them solely to God if you wish. Just have a little faith as well in the ability of a human to overcome adversity and problems themselves.

I wanted a thread for people to tell what God has done for them. So far I cant think of anything big he has done.

The fact that some intelligent powerful entity loves me for the fact that I exist. It's a comfort thing, I guess.

Fairy tales and mythological figures don't do anything for me. I make thinks happen. I am in utter control of my life.

I'll tell you: he used to comfort me, the idea of his existance made me hope and use words such as: god please help me! god plz... god this...god that... when i felt down i used the name "God" to make my self feel better psychologically but i dont think he affects me anymore..

To people who refuse to lsiten to logic, everything that happens, good and bad, proves god.

"I got a bf because of god"
Even if the bf is cheating on the girl, and he dumps her, it'll be justified by god wants the chick to feel pain. There is no win situation.

God is a divine sugar daddy. Even when I felt the vaguest bit of Christianity years ago, I always wondered about some of the things people would pray to God about. I mean, I could accept praying about poor old Aunt Malice (I'd like to name a child Malice, Malice and Pax.) who fell of the top of the Sears Tower. But when you have people praying to God to help them find a good pair of shoes? Or attributing every tiny little thing to him.?

One of the reasons why Grace always struck me as odd. You worked to earn the money for that food. You bought it, cooked it, served it and will was up the dishes. Where exactly does God enter into the equation?

I ask not for people to run my life. I do, however, accept acts of kindness and friendship, I glady, in turn, repay such acts.

The Bible more about money and prosperity than the afterlife. God promises those who obey Him will prosper.
