See, there’s where we went wrong: We actually expected God to do what he said he would do. That was our biggest mistake. God isn’t into granting “wishes,” you see. He isn’t Santa Claus, you know.
What a dismissive response! But this follows a time-tested strategy that’s become quite familiar to me at this point:
Step 1: Trivialize people’s heartfelt cries for help as if we’re spoiled children asking for toys.
Step 2: Shame former believers for believing what the Bible told them to believe.
Step 3: Explain that prayer isn’t really supposed to be asking God to do anything.
