Does God need to be praised by us or do we need to praise Him?

    Some people see the need to praise him, others see the need for him to reveal himself incontravertably before we even acknowledge his existence.what do you think bout this?

    All I know that when I praise him and do good stuff business runs better ;) So if that Big Guy takes care of me why not show him some respect ?

    Praise god for what? God gets his existence from us not the other way around.
    We don't need to thank him for anything because it's us who've made things happen. We also shouldn't blame him when we don't work hard enough (ie. must have been god's will for it not to happen).

    We praise God because God want us to pray, it is a constant reminder that God is our source to get strength. ApocalypseXL is right, Big Guy really take care of us.

    I thank God for everything he done for me! :)

    What if your god will put you into Iron Maiden while you watch as your children being raped and skinned alive, would you still put your tongue up his asshole? Beware, for a wrong answer you might do just that for quadrillions of quintillions of years and then some. Because he loves you...

    zzzz....zzzz....zzzz . You know if you would be capable of a bit of empathy maybe you wouldn't sound like douche lol . OFC I'm probably wrongfully assuming that you would be willing to use the said skill .

    P.S. Try a a bigger word like a googolplex .

    Yeah, he cares about the money you make, but not about babies dying from aids, children being locked in basements and sexually abused or rape victims. Do you realise how much of a narcissist you have to be to think such a thing? I hope you're ashamed of yourself. But don't worry if you're not, the shame i feel for you will do for both of us.

    You feel shame ? LOL that's something new , if you ever had the mechanisms required for that emotion they're long dead . God cares about everyone and TBH I have no reason to be ashamed if the Big Guy wants to help me out . Or do you think all those billionaires and millionaires should be ashamed that they have food while other are starving ?

    You have completely missed the point, unsurprisingly. What people should be ashamed of is the egotistical, selfish and frankly narcissistic view that god would be at all concerned with their finances, going out of his way to make sure they have money, while completely ignoring a 3 year old being tortured and raped every day. The fact that you can't see what a repulsive thing that is to believe, and what kind of character it would make your god, is worrying.

    You're that special, right? That you deserve a divine being to provide you more money because you uttered some primitive incantation to yourself but children don't deserve to not be raped and tortured? What a thing this cult has done to you. That is what you should be ashamed of.

    Oh I didn't knew that you're aware of everything that God does . Also do you think all those billionaires and millionaires should be ashamed that they have food while others are starving ?

    You're missing the point, again, unsurprisingly. having money isn't the problem. The problem is believing that you're so special as to have the divine creator of the universe go out of his way to make sure you can pay your credit cards every month while ignoring children being raped and tortured, simply because you uttered a better incantation. It's that belief that you should be ashamed of.

    You'd do well to acknowledge that it's a disgusting thing to think happens and move on, because by defending that narcissistic opinion you're presenting yourself as quite a grotesque monster with a monumental ego.

    I know that children are being raped and tortured, so i know he's not doing enough. But enough about them, how are you, need some more money? Because you're the real deserving one, right? You're the one who's special enough to have your prayers answered, even when asking for something as trivial as more money so you can buy your trinkets, and children being raped an tortured will just have to join the back of the line, right?

    I think you're starting to get just how disgusting your view is now. You seem to be defending it with a lot less conviction. Is it starting to sink in what a shameful thing that is for you to think?

    God created free will and we're held responsible for our actions , if God would manipulate our will we would be robots not humans . Those who live a evil life never end up well . Don't worry my faith is growing stronger by the day , just like your hatred . As for the way I use my money you'd be surprised to know that I don't buy trinkets , I spend my money well , growing , becoming better and also helping others .
