Re: Is it immoral to believe in anecdotal \"answered prayer?\"
[ QUOTE ]
The qualitative difference is in relationship. If you believe in a "relationship God" as opposed to a "random blessing God," it might not seem so unnatural to expect good things to happen when you jump through the correct hoops (whatever they may be -- maybe praying for xyz) that result in relationship with God.

Yeah, I guess there are enough hidden premises in the idea of prayer that one can't easily extract what identity of God is implied.
I probably should have found a different way of posing my basic question...which was whether people think holding a belief can be immoral, if the belief is sufficiently depraved.
tame deuces's corollary comment is more interesting anyway.
