Anything good happen to you so far?

Anything bad not happen?

Did you get the feeling someone was watching you this morning in the bathroom?

Maybe that was him. ::127

Still nothing new.

I still have the feeling that the truth I am going to come away with is the same one I started with.

There is no god.

Atheist prayer no. 4 concluded…more than half way there… nothing so far.

Barring a very unforeseen outcome to all of this, it'll be interesting to see how Asana reacts to Frank's conclusion.

It makes me wonder... how could someone actually believe this would work?

I’ll be going to sleep soon feeling the same way as ever… no god.

It looks to me as though he's gambling. It just doesn't seem like a very strong bet, in my opinion.

I find it humorous that he has vanished during this 7-day prayer stage. Maybe Frank is the first person to actually put his claim to the test and he is afraid of the results.

Look guys...please dont listen to Asana. He does not speak for me. As for all this "say this blah blah blah 7 times crap...I do not work this way. I am a mystery and there is no direct way to influence my influence on your life.

Asana, while being a 'special' person, is not and never has been my avatar on earth. Oh...and I did NOT help him raise a dog from the dead!

Ugh! I KNOW Asana is now going to say "SEE...you said the prayer and God showed himself (like I have a gender!) to yu Frank. This is NOT the case, ok?

Later,
God, Et Al

I am guessing that Asana is not responding because he is confident the his god will come through by the 7 days deadline, and he thinks his words are not necessary.
