Recently on IMDB I issued a man a challenge. Pray for a Unicorn to appear on my front lawn and I will not only convert to Christianity but I will donate everything that I own to a church of his choice.
Obviously I don't have a unicorn because I'm not making millions of dollars a year from tours called "Corny the Unicorn and his Magnificent Horsettes" but it does bring up the question, what is the limit of belief and prayer.
Now I'm an atheist, I don't believe that prayer works at all but I wonder about those who do believe. They pray for strength and happiness and other emotional things, but when they pray for physical goods and don't get them they don't wonder why. I do.
If prayer worked logically you should be able to pray for anything you want, after all God allegedly made a woman into a pillar of salt so he could get me an Xbox360 without even trying.
He allegedly made a man out of dirt and yet he is unable to build me a 20 story mansion with a pool in every room.
He allegedly cursed a man with horrible boils and yet he won't make my penis 4 inches longer just by praying.
It's odd to me that somehow asking for such things sounds silly but let's face it, if you believe in a man that created the universe in 6 days and yet no one created him then asking for a unicorn sounds positively sane in comparison.
I still want my unicorn, so I ask for people to pray for a unicorn to appear upon my lawn. The instant one pops up I will devote my life to the lord, until then forgive me if I find the whole belief thing to be a little bit silly
