Is god just an imaginary friend?

[livingnightmare]

is praying just wishing/wishful thinking?

[CountessSarah]

Definitely.
What's interesting is that every god people claim to know the will of, or hear voices from, always conveniently agrees with the individuals pre-existing beliefs. Their gods agree with what the individual thinks, because the 'god' is just their own inner monologue that they've tried to characterise as it's own distinct entity.

And prayer is indeed pointless. Aside from there not being a god to answer prayer, it's also just inconsistent with other theist claims -
If you claim your god 'has a plan', then whatever you pray for was always either destined to happen or it wasn't. So your prayer had no impact, either way.
Furthermore, if your god is all-knowing and sees the future, then it already knew you would pray long before you ever did so. Meaning that the god knew when it first wrote out the plan that you would not like it, so your prayer was pre-emptively ignored.

No he's not please don't disrespect God he more than your friend he is your father and you should very much respect him but I understand it useless to talk to people who think like you.

[TheSpaceGnome]

It's only useless because you can't prove your claim.

[CinnamonBunPrincess]

@TheSpaceGnome yes I can prove it, you see what happens when people use ouji boards, and demons start to attack them, well if they have prove of this why don't you think there's proof of a God, God is real and you know it.

[TheSpaceGnome]

That doesn't happen in real life, and god isn't real.

[CinnamonBunPrincess]

@TheSpaceGnome it's does happen there is so much proof, like go on YouTube also see the haunted houses and you know something is off listen GOD IS VERY MUCH REAL and you once again know it God is not fake he made everything.

[TheSpaceGnome]

Demons aren't real either, and Ouija boards are just harmless toys to scare ignorant children with.

[CinnamonBunPrincess]

@TheSpaceGnome when you're in trouble or dying the first word you will call on is God and I guarantee it.

[TheSpaceGnome]

Those videos are faked.

[CinnamonBunPrincess]

@TheSpaceGnome no they're because I had these things happen to me so I'm speaking from experience.

[CinnamonBunPrincess]

God is real

[TheSpaceGnome]

Also omnipotence is a self contradictory concept because opposites exist, and the universe had to have had no begining because nothingness is impossible, so any form of creationism or god would by default also be impossible.

Also souls can't exist because dementia and alzheimer's does, and heaven and hell aren't real because space isn't multilayered, and pain or pleasure requires a body.

[TheSpaceGnome]

You're a liar.

[jshm2]

You've got too active an imagination kid, and need some friends.

[MotorcycleMan]

That would be my opinion, but I suspect I'm in the minority :)

[EmmaMary]

Absolutely, totally and completely imaginary, and just so comical. 🤣🤣🤣

[CuriousMufuxka]

Perhaps. Well on the imaginary point of friend anyway. My belief remains undecided/agnostic. Actually pisses a lot of people off, which I find quite amusing.

[Anonymous]

Yes. It's just Santa level 2. Kids eventually pass Santa level 1 and cop on to themselves. Most people can't figure out level 2.

[TheSpaceGnome]

Pretty much, all religions are nothing but fiction.

[FTnWo]

Imaginary yes friend no

[TheSpaceGnome]

This deserves a mho.

[yourheart3]

Good point

[katiesmuff]

That would be how I would answer the question!

[tatianamay]

Well, according to me, yes

[call_me_scar]

Most likely yes
