answering prayers for the Jews and others truly decimated (how many people
survived the camps versus the number who didn't?), I'd hate to see what
happens when he doesn't answer prayers! Does the Earth fall into the Sun?
Also, while Israel does exist, its prosperity is mostly the result of US
funding. If that's prayers being answered, then I guess every person on
welfare -- including big corporations like AMD and some African dictators --
should get down on their knees and praise the Lord.
Of course, I know Zero is only talking about this reinforcing a meme...

Now we have to find agreement on your contention that if God exists, God acts
through history? Can you state what criteria would prove of falsify the
existence of God? Also, if God exists, is it of practical use to you,
personally? One of the nazis, questions, according to some survivors, when
the nazis were performing executions at ditches, and so-forth, was "where is
your God now?" Presumably, most of the murderers were not-atheists (tho'
some probably were) most were nominal Christians, who beloned to either the
German Lutheran Church, or were Roman Catholics.
