Christians can be incredibly dense sometimes. If they tried to force me to pray, I'd fucking sue my school. I'm not necessarily an atheist, but the idea of the christian God does not apply to my beliefs. I think it's kind of sad how people survive cancer or something and they say it was a miracle from God, but they can't understand it was THEM who gave them the strength to live on. They don't see that they were the ones who survived something, not because they prayed, but because they had the will to survive. Religion has its pros and cons --- cons namely being the Crusades and Spanish Inquisitions, and the pros being that people are scared shitless to sin or else they burn forever.

Seriously, if Christians forced our schools to pray, I would be pissed as fuck. I can handle doing the Pledge of Allegiance, that's me honoring the people who have ensured that our country survives, and their bravery is the foundation of America. Sadly, the brave mostly died in events like the Civil War, which showed people 'America will do anything to protect itself', but then a good deal of the people who had a sense of honor were killed.

The world is sad. - emo. -

murder does not land you in hell, suicide does because it's the one sin that cannot honestly repent for. Your argument lacks substance, because your making it sound like if someone survives cancer, unless God tangibly speaks to someone, and tells them to do something specific to survive, than that means it has nothing to do with God, Yes people have the will to survive, but Intuitive being could very well be an instinct granted to a select few as a gift from God. Some people have the will to survive, and some don't...God doesn't save you just because you pray, if you survive because suddenly you have the will to survive, is it possible that assuming that God exists, that he instilled that will to live in you? or whoever it is that is trying to survive? yeah, it is.
And true believers are not afraid to sin, becauyse they know they are human, and they will inevitably sin, and thanks to the new testemant...we can ask for forgiveness, and as long as it's genuwine...God cannot deny us, thats what jesus died on the cross for.

And the civil war? The civil war was not to protect our country, if the south would have won, we'd still be America, that was not an issue of us being invaded, it was an issue of fighting eachother, thats more destructive than positive. Yes we're all glad it happened...because slavery is over, but realisitcally, the civil war is not something i look back on and say, "thankyou soldiers" because just as many american soldiers who were fighting for slavery, died in that war. I understand where your coming from on your points of view, but you need to do a little homework, and think a little bit deeper about things
