did calvinists even pray? seems like if you thought all things were predetermined and there was no free will you could save a lot of prayer time by just accepting things as they happened

most people i hear say that prayer works because if something happened the way they prayed then god listened and changed his mind (lol)

if things went bad or the opposite of the way they prayed then it was part of His plan and he works in mysterious ways you cant change the will of god

The people gunned down were praying. Perhaps they should have been praying explicitly to not be murdered?

I think visualisation works, because you're picturing yourself succeeding so avenues to success seem more realistic, but I think the only person who visualized his goals here was the shooter

Quite a lot of the Bible contradicts the entire Prosperity Gospel, but yeah, Job is kind of the master class there.

Rewarding a faithful servant by making GBS threads on him to win a bet. Not exactly a ringing endorsement for the religion.

obviously, and the lack of understanding also betrays the entire lack of knowledge about how Jews in pre-roman days saw the afterlife and poo poo working, which also is important to understand greater themes, like the descendants of Adam having extremely long lives that keep getting shorter.

the point is that job and the reader cannot even begin to understand why it happened because a god who is greater than all of creation cannot be understood fully by anything w/in creation

You don't get to selectively invoke the 5th. Once you've testified against yourself it's generally gone unless you produced information pursuant to a proffer or some sort of agreement.

Carter Page is trying to invoke the 5th on anything HE thinks looks bad as well as things that he thinks makes other people look bad (which is obviously not covered by the 5th).

Thanks. So he lost the right to invoke the 5th once he'd already provided testimony, or self-incrimintating testimony?
