Posted this well over 5 minutes ago, you all stunned or something?

[GalacticBusDriver]

Which part is supposed to be proof for gawd? The fact that she fell off a cathedral (where was gawd if not at church?!?) or the fact that humans rescued her?!?

Stunned, definitely. Stunned by the dumbest fucking "proof" ever.

If you haven't noticed, few people are on line at this time of day.  It's my time for the internet, but nobody is here.  Aside from that, I don't have much to say about the incident, but after I figured out was going on, I hop skipped and jumped my way to the end.  Did I miss an opportunity to comment on something interesting, controversial, or miraculous?

God is an RAF helicopter.

1) Person is in great danger.
2) People pray hard.
3) God rescues person.

Important conclusion: God is real and he listens to our prayer.

0) God puts person in situation where she can get killed.
1) Person is in great danger.
2) People pray hard.
3) God rescues person.
4) God is a egotistical prick.
Important conclusion: God is real and he listens to our prayer.

God, I have not been able to tell whether you are (1) a theist, or (2) an atheist doing a parody of a theist.  Your fun filled "wacky logic" could have been a portion of the Rocky and Bullwinkle program back in the 60s.  It could be the vignette called "Bullwinkle's Fractured Logic." 

Let's assume that you are a theist and that you actually view your 3 sentence syllogism as a logical argument.  Just a comment or two.  Your "Important conclusion:" is unnecessary.  That "God is real" is already clearly stated in number three.  It's called begging the question (working toward a conclusion by inserting the answer).

What your syllogism distills down to is the following:

God is real
Therefore, God is real

This is classic theism.  When we ask a theist for proof in this forum, he frequently offers no proof, but simply restates his claim.  It happens so often that it's clear that such theists use a special logic from a chapter in their handbook, "How to Create a Sentence that Sounds Like it Means Something".

The second part of your conclusion, that "God listens to our prayers" is not supported by any one of your premises.  Now a god may indeed rescue a person, but from what you wrote, there is nothing to suggest that he listens to prayers.  Hey you wrote the damn premises.  At least write one that supports the conclusion.  How hard can that be?  Something like:

God listens to our prayers.
Therefore, God listens to our prayers.

Well, we are not quite there yet, but remember this is Bullwinkle Logic.  Bullwinkle Logic, just as Theist Logic, does not have to actually be logical.  Its purpose is to be entertaining, and perhaps even confound an occasional atheist to the point where he freaks out and bashes his head against the wall while screaming something like, "Its a madhouse."

Or he might just be a troll.

I think he is immature! Solitary

[KUSA]

So god saves a 68 year old woman but let's countless innocent children die each year. What a dick.

[stromboli]

Welcome, KUSA.

I always wonder, if god exists, why do miracles only happen out of a supposed tragedy, like people ALMOST kicking the bucket.

I tried to think of a miracle though and anything other than fix the mess he made/let happen in the first place like fix worldwide poverty, illness... etc wouldn't really impress me...


Maybe if he gave people the power to spontaneously compose a pizza out of thin air... but still... he would have to prove that it's him that gave us the power in the first place.

[StupidWiz]

I'm pretty sure it's a troll, forgive me god for saying so. 

[Mr.Obvious]

Or he might just be a troll.

If the Christian God were true, he'd be the biggest troll in existence. So I guess that as far as that goes he's playing the part perfectly.
