That’s not Christian.

You are wrong.

The power and work of prayer is described in the Bible. It says nothing about emotion.

Do you believe in prayer?


I think that’s what he meant when he said “that’s not Christian”… aren’t you agreeing?

I was not clear.

I am not agreeing with his claim that Happy Camper is presenting God as a "genie in a bottle".



Oh ok I see

IZ is correct about that; I suggested “cosmic vending machine” but same/same.
