Stan, what’s intercessory prayer for then?

Stan keeps spitting out established Christian dogma about god.

Today: god is omniscient! Knows it all from the beginning.

And that’s all he says. Doesn't help his readers at all with the questions begged by this tenet of faith. Like…

Doesn’t this kind of empty out intercessory prayer of all meaning?

Is god just gaslighting Moses?

"I have observed the misery of my people who are in Egypt; I have heard their cry on account of their taskmasters. Indeed, I know their sufferings, and I have come down to deliver them from the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land to a good and broad land, a land flowing with milk and honey, to the country of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites. The cry of the Israelites has now come to me; I have also seen how the Egyptians oppress them.”


Did Jesus may have take a narcotic before saying, "I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.”

Did Jesus get it wrong in the Garden of Gethsemane?

"My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will,"

Stan, why you do you single out isolated faith claims and fail so utterly to paint a holistic vision of Christian living?

Oh, and Stan, regarding endless hell:

Psalm 103

The LORD is full of compassion and mercy, * slow to anger and of great kindness.

He will not always accuse us, * nor will he keep his anger for ever.


He has not dealt with us according to our sins, * nor rewarded us according to our wickedness.


For as the heavens are high above the earth, * so is his mercy great upon those who fear him.
