So god never answers the prayers of atheists… sounds pointless.
Predestination - sounds like you’re talking about god’s plan… why pray then? If it’s already in a plan, it’ll happen. If it’s not in the plan, it won’t.
If god doesn’t allow his children to slip away, how do you explain the actual verifiable existence of atheists and people that formerly had religion?
Why would you worship a God that casts aside so many people and condemns them to hell? Sounds more like a Devil.
Could you share what makes you so confident in the first quote, despite what you say in the second quote? How can you know God would not or has not answered any prayers that negatively affected a true follower, and how can one define whether God has negatively affected a true follower when one cannot intimately know God's true intentions?
No true Scotsman fallacy. Any time anyone can show someone praying for a negative thing against a follower you'll simply say that they weren't a "true follower".
What a bunch of horseshit. Your God is a monster.
