Let us pray

[singcobb]

At many Cobblers games most likely before you were born have whispered many a prayer and Lo and behold we as Club are still here and still challenging! Against all the odds!

I assure I am an old git like you and I've never prayed in my life.

[Manwork04]

I assure I am an old git like you and I've never prayed in my life.

You will do on your last day.

[Gustavo Palcrice]

Why would you pray. According to those who follow religion god is never wrong and he has already decided who should die and when and anything else that is going to happen, so if he is never wrong he can't change his mind so you are wasting your time praying.

The Lord have mercy on your soul.

[singcobb]

You will do on your last day.

I most certainly wont.

[singcobb]

The Lord have mercy on your soul.

How can a fictional character have mercy on something that doesn't exist.

[BackOfTheNet]

You will do on your last day.

I'm with Voltaire on that one.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures, which is nice.

Canals surely?

So he encourages you to be lazy.

WTF is this thread, the silly season has definitely started!. It definitely doesn’t seem to be cobblers related, so should be moved or better deleted!.

Anything is possible, FACT.

I'm not a religious type at all.. But I do believe in God.

[Shoemender]

I'm not a religious type at all.. But I do believe in God.

Which one? There's thousands of them. All fictional.

[Terryfenwickatemyhamster]

There’s only thousands if you choose a religion. If you believe in a greater entity than humans, you don’t have to categorise it.. 

[Tabasco Kid]

There’s only thousands if you choose a religion. If you believe in a greater entity than humans, you don’t have to categorise it.. 

So youre not religous, so praying is pointless (I agree with this), as you do not know who to direct your thoughts towards.
However, you do believe in a "greater entity". Are we now in Star Trek territory then?

[Shoemender]

There’s only thousands if you choose a religion. If you believe in a greater entity than humans, you don’t have to categorise it.. 

If you choose a religion, some have one god some have thousands. So there are thousands of fictional gods whether you choose a religion or not. No one is born into a religion, it's just forced onto you by your parents.

[Melbourne Cobbler]

Which one? There's thousands of them. All fictional.

Or one god with thousands of interpretations of him/her/it, or yet another fanatical group that says there’s not one at all, not that I’m a religious type. It’s all about theory, theory that there’s a particular outcome, including the random event ending in nothing theory. If like me you prefer facts, the fact is that it is likely that for the universe to exist there are planes of existence outside of it where the laws of physics (including time and space) in this particular existence don’t apply. That means anything is possible, including countless scenarios that are incomprehensible. Anyone who states any outcome with any certainty is off their rocker, because they are all equally possible. Or if you prefer given the countless possibilities, most of which we could never comprehend, equally impossible. Therefore the only thing that matters is what you choose to believe, because it is as equally likely (or unlikely) as any other theory.

Hope that helps.
