God Kill all People in Sodoma & Gomora, because they are all sinners, They did not obey God. they worship Idols and Images, did not make sex to a woman, but they make it in their same sex. Genesis 19:1-33
​
Are you trying to say that there were no children in Sodom & Gomorrah?
​
Similarly:
God dismayed because he created Human and become evil in their lives and they do what they want. But God was pleased with Noah. and He kill every living creature in Earth but God save Noah and His family, and a Pair of every kind of animals.
Genesis 6:1-22
​
There were no children killed in the flood?

Re: Insulting through Prayer
If christianity is true, then God is everywhere, including with you now. The prayer is intended to show God that you are thinking about someone else, and that you hope for good things in their life.
​
That is fine until I ask them to stop. If they do they have done their mission, if they don't they are not affording me my beliefs.

Re: Insulting through Prayer
Some may, some may not. Though it is important to love and respect all of Gods people, religious or not, it is far more important to save as many people as possible. Christians don't take it to the extent that we are knocking at your door at dinner time (like the mormons and JW's), but we still have an obligation to God to share his word as often as possible.
​
If I asked you to stop driving, would you?
​
Once I asked them to stop, it becomes harassment or prozlatizing neither of which I am interested in. Mormons & JWs are Christians. As for driving where is the connection?

Re: Insulting through Prayer
Though the two are dissociated, that is true. However, the earth being 6000 years old matches with the story of the Bible. Remember, being a christian is based on faith, being a ID (creationist) is based on evidence (as is evolution).
​
Alright, by tour limited definition, which of the following are Christians?
​
Roman Catholics, Anglicans, Methodists, Lutherans, Baptists, Mennonites, Presbyterians, Unitarians.
​
What's more all Christians don't accept that Genesis is literal.
​
It is not just believing that Christ exists, but that he was the Messiah, that makes a person a Christian, whether they believe in other prophets or not.

Re: Insulting through Prayer
You asking someone to stop doing something you dislike, though it has no negative effects, is illogical morally speaking.
​
No negative effects? Harassment has negative effects. If I am selling widgets and try to sell you one and you say you don't want one, but I continuously keep calling you trying to sell my widget, would you claim there is no negative effects. The harassment is the negative effect. I don't want your useless widget, prayer.
