Reasonable, except using the word "false," concerning prayer, then you are making an assumption (unless you really do not accept the possiblity that you're wrong).

Right off the bat, you're blaming God for mistakes people make. Just because folks behave uncivilly, that doesn't prove or disprove God.

I think God apologized sufficiently on the cross, of course that's my belief, but assuming, as I do, that it's so, it's sufficient and I forgive him for my petty pains and sufferings.

God's perfection, to me, is not man's perfection. We think perfection is measuring something down to the thousandth of an inch; designing electron microscopes; cracking the human genome code; smashing the atom. With our perfection we get better weapons and more questions.

God's perfection is that He Is, Always Was, and Always Will Be. Pretty doggone perfect. He can't be measured, He refuses to be, so He hides Himself in mystery. If we could find Him and measure Him with science, then our belief and faith would be of no use. Instead we simply believe or not, and if we believe we simply have faith or not. Having faith in someone whose existence we can't prove is perfection. God doesn't make mistakes, we erroneously believe they are mistakes in our search for human perfection.

I believe God could have made a world without pain or discomfort, but it would be full of pride and contentment. There's no perfect faith in pride, that's the fall of the angels.

In human terms, using rational thought, could I be wrong? Sure. But I don't believe I am.

You've got to know your limitations. I don't know what your limitations are. I found out what mine were when I was twelve. I found out that there weren't too many limitations, if I did it my way. -Johnny Cash
