I bet it wouldn't survive the way the bible has.
It all depends on what the future holds. Let's use a "hypothetical" and say that there's a nuclear war and all of humanity is wiped out. Now in 10,000 or so years people once again begin to re-populate earth. They are digging and find my Superman book that claims that God inspired me to write it. In that case, it very well can reach the popularity of the bible, hell it CAN be the bible. But in today's world, you're right, it wouldn't survive like the bible.
But I so despise when Christians quote passages from the bible to show that God exists. In the same fashion, I could quote Stan Lee comics and show that Spiderman exists. The bible was written by many different authors, consisting of many different books. All of it was distorted by men based on their ideas and prejudices at the time. Half of the horse manure in the bible is meant to reinforce the idea of how you must worship God, he basically wrote a 2,000 page book about himself, in order to brag about himself. The mere fact that anybody can find obvious contradictions in it, is enough reason for me to discount it.

Read the amazing stories people concoct and believe in that subforum, and it's not too surprising that the ancient world was flooded with superstitious books like those in the Bible.
Hence, Gilgamesh's Arc.
If, after I die, some God asks me why I never phoned, I'll explain that I was too busy attempting to fix his mistakes.

You remember that scene in the movie 300.... when the king of Sparta kicked that dude into the pit?
I really dont comprehend the purpose of praying. I dont believe in that belligerent thug from the bible; I dont believe that God is omni-everything. For instance, what would God do if two opposing basketball teams were each coached by 2 born-again Christians, and each prayed to win. Would God throw 1 Christian under the bus, I mean there must be a winner? Theres way too many debatable points considering the bible for it to be valid, IMO.
But I do believe that praying to a higher power is healthy and sets a perspective in your life.
And what makes you think God interfers in basketball games like that?
Well isn't it his responsibility to answer any prayers from his beleivers? I mean, his son states that whatever you pray for, it will be granted. He didn't put any stipulations or limits on them. So in that scenario, the winning team will swear that God granted answered their prayer, while the losing team will claim it was "personal gain" or other nonsense.
That's why I don't care for Christianity. It was imposed on blacks and it splits the white race up, and it has too many weak links to be a valid religion.
No reason to feel shy about it.
I like to pray in my car on my way to work, no radio, just silence with me talking to God.
I sometimes do it the whole trip, and my school is about 40 minutes from where I live.
When I'm not working I'll sometimes pray in the morning when I wake up, or before I go to sleep at night.
Jesus never stated that God will answer your prayer in any specific way. Many times God answers your prayers with a 'No", or "Wait" or "Yes" with the yes being what he knows to be best for us. Christians pray to God to become closer to him. Prayer is not some sort of a magic 8 ball where you pray your wishes because they will magically be answered the way you want.
Now where would you like for me to begin, Christianity is chalked full of obtuse, off the wall, illogical happenings. Just for now let’s start at the beginning, since that story got me shaking my head in disbelief right from the get go. Humanity was set-up; It was one giant blame-game. First of all, the bibleGod is all powerful, right? So why did he have to place the tree, the one thing that can ruin mankind, in Adam and Eve’s field of vision? Why didn’t he take the proper precautions and place it on Mars or some other planet where they can never get to it? Imagine you have a chocolate bar, and you of course do not want your dog to get at it. Now logic says you should hide it in a cupboard or a closet or something. But instead, you do the next best thing- put it right in his food dish. The bibleGod told Adam that they can eat from any tree, except the one that contains the forbidden knowledge. So he put evil right in their food source.Would you like to share some specifics of those "weak links" in Christianity?
Or just when you feel the need to, like if somebody is sick, or you're needing guidance.
I pray every day.
Is this just a yes or no poll or is this something people want to talk about?

You do prey everday because power tripping asswipes like you need to compensate any way you can find. I'm just amazed you were too shy to misspell "prey."

I'm curious about how prayer is perceived in terms of guidance, selfishness, agape, and indescribable bonds between people who pray together. Isn't it weird how it feels less intimate to have sex with someone versus praying with that person?

That's a wretched post.
