Placebo effect can be as high as 72%. A deity that wants… demands worship would do well to have their adherents be a minimum of 73% better in all areas of life! As this god is all powerful 73% is an insult! Said adherents should be twice as good off as everyone else.
@Jear77 A placebo effect means you have effects from food, medicine, and such which are beneficial. A nocebo effect means you have negative effects from food medicine, etc.
Tv and science tell ppl food and medicine have this or that effect, and they believe it, so it does.
But, it is all a bunch of lies.
Also, i am not a deity, but an atheist. Just threw in that line to be challenging.
@Jear77 There are exceptions to every rule. Not literally. Maybe literally.
Up to God.
Yes, prayer can be a placebo effect. But there is a barrier, as Jesus said, “Do not babble on and on as the gentiles do”. Can can be sympathetic for that for awhile, but if you never come across that and go, “oh wait”, then you have not been even trying to follow what jesus taught.
These days are particularly bad, because there is SO much evil in the church. Satan really has driven people very far away from the teachings of Jesus.
But, really, the worst of it, you just see now, amongst Trumpists.
Did you know Trump’s dad’s middle name is “Christ”? And so is his mother’s? Fred Trump’s Mothers?
Did you know America has parts which is the beast and parts which is not?
And why and how?
Do you know who the levithan is? Who the behemoth is? Can you grasp the fullness of the earth and heavens as God can?
@five2one that’s another thing. A god who can’t even spell out his reasoning for things other than to say “you can’t understand” should neither be trusted nor obeyed

Where is Craig.
@five2one yet… people pray. In this ‘prayer’ is the drug. Can prayer(s) answered to the affirmative rise above the placebo effect? No.

Can God ever lie, Job?

@Jear77 God does not explain out his reasons for why bad things happen to others because it is a question that you actually need to ask God with.
Or maybe he does.
