For a certain minority of people on these forums he/she is probably their best option.
They tend to fail to understand simple basics of how a computer functions and simple maintenance procedures or the utility of reading a guide before embarking on projects.
Despite very good advice, these people still do not get it - leaving the only option as prayer.
I'm not sure whether they ever receive devine guidance or experience a miracle but blind faith must help.
Simple message - if you do not know what you are doing - too lazy to read or understand guides and rely on others to retify your stupidity - go the god option and pray for success.

Darthnip, didn`t Hitch hikers guide to the galaxy show the proff of god. I thought that line was funny.
Personally, I think if people read up on most religions and take the best (personal best) elements from each and add that to their moral fiber. Then they might be better off than being devoted to one relegion.
Anyone check out the new fools church website. The virtual church idea is interesting.

I got the last book with all books in it. I also have them all on DVD as well (Hitch hickers guide).
The though UK people would know (You may not be in the UK, I can`t remember)
But the web site is like this:
http://ship-of-fools.com/Features/0404/church_fools.html
It quite funny, there are people praying to vending machines. And Satan was around. I haven`t joined yet, but have heard may stories about it.

darthnip, you asked for one example that science can't explian as proof of God. Man would be the best one. Try as they might, science can't explain us.

Consider this:
1. Let's assume "god' and "satan" exist.
2. Let's assume "satan" is one clever bastard who wants our souls ever so desperately which
3. I think it's fair to say "all christian kids are brought up to fear satan and fear hell because its a horrible place etc"
4. I'm certain satan realizes that these kids are being brought up to fear hell.
5. So why not make hell a resort? Like I mean, if satan made hell just like heaven but except without the admission requirements that fear would be gone and so would put a significant dent in the "anti-hell" and "anti-satan" sentiments and such -- that would be the clever thing to do.
6. Has Satan turned 'hell' into 'heaven without the admission requirements'? Nobody can say but it sure gives for an interesting perspective :P

A more clever thing to do would be to tell you Hell is a
resort with no admission requirements. But when you got there you find out TOO late it really is Hell.

Good call however for this 'idea' to work, since Satan doesnt already have the 'trust' of the people, just "telling us it's a resort" will probably not be enough. Some form of proof -- fake or otherwise -- would have to be forthcoming simply because we're brought up to a "stay away, dont listen and dont trust" doctrine :)

i really have just two comments, besides saying this thread is pretty entertaining:
sinjin: even though the catholics may have taught you to judge, doesn't the bible (and jesus specifically) say not to judge your fellow man? i thought the bible was supposed to be the most perfect source of god's word, not a guy in a dress with a beanie? or at least the 10 commandments.
oriphus: Hitler's actions may have been religion based towards the jews, but i find that hard to believe. hitler encouraged atheism, and his german followers were supposed to "not have a god, save Germany herself". the History Channel is my source on that. and that was only devotion, really, not a religion.
but what do i know? i'm a newbie, and i skimmed this thread. keep up the posts!

The most clever thing Satan ever did was to convince mankind that he doesn't exist.

Of course satan exists. George Burns, aka Satan. Was one of the too good actors playing satan. Also smoked every day of his live and died at age 90? I think there were some deals there.

Maybe your soul isn't worth the money? j/k, but did you give it to a loved one, like Homer in the simpsons episode where Flanders was satan and homer sold his soul for a donut? or perhaps you don't have a soul? could you be a living corpse? how about a demon who doesn't realize what you are? i should really take a nap. i've been going like 36 hours. does it show in my logic?

Preator,
Sounds like Satan DOES have the trust of the people. Everyoue here is arguing his side of things. Seemingly without knowing it.

I'm aware of that but for the sake of a proper logical argument with a conclusive end, it was a somewhat neccesary assumption to make :)

Satan does exist - he keeps sending me psychotic girlfriends with serious issues that he personally trained to make my life hell.

Satan does exist! why else would Marilyn Manson become an official minister in the satanic church? btw, i'm a christian (my own variety of baptist, basically) and i still listen to Manson. some songs are good, even though i don't agree with his beliefs.

oh, Praetor: would that make you our resident insomniac on this thread? isn't it odd that humans have to sleep so much? i wish we were like giraffes. they take 3 minute naps throughout the day, sleeping no more than 2 to 3 hours a day. and there is a conspiracy about supersoldiers created for Vietnam 1969,i believe. the part of the brain stem which controls sleep is removed (or part of it), and the person is then given prescription drugs to add the chemicals to the body which it normally creates during sleep. supposedly, we still have about 30 people alive who haven't slept in 35 years. i wish i could track down the doctors who did this so i could stop sleeping and regain a third of my life. and to make this related to the topic, let's say the doctor was god or an angel or something. or that nixon was satan. just throw something in.

Yes.
After about a week and a bit, I start to hear things :P ... as we approach two weeks I start to see triple vision (whenever I can open my eyes without hurting myself). After that I have a tendency to do stuff but just not remember doing them ... or not doing them and remembering that I did :P (its really quite creepy -- and so funny)
