Logical fallacy at its best.

Clearly if it doesn't make sense then you don't understand it

Day after day, Alone on a hill, The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still But nobody wants to know him, They can see that he's just a fool, And he never gives an answer

Yes, I grew up in a Baptist fundy home. I attended Baptist Bible College in Michigan for a short time. I've read the bible several times. 
I can answer prayers with as much success as god can.

When you prayed, was all sincerity in your heart? Did you make jesus more important then your own life? When you were a baptist did you put him number one all the time?

If what the bible says is true and we're heading for an apocalyptic ending, it would still historically be religion's unyielding, single-minded, intolerant, self-righteous, extremist doctrines that divided the world in the first place and set the stage for our downfall. There is no escaping this fact. But I can't truly blame our ancestors for their mistakes. I can, however, lay blame on the current generations for failing to learn from the mistakes of old. Until religion can come to terms with its follies and learn to adapt and grow (like any healthy being), the divide between science and spirituality will continue to widen.

I'm gonna go ahead and skip past the first paragraph you wrote because it doesn't apply to me at all. The second paragraph brings up a good point about the downfall of organized religion, to discover why this is evident we must first identify how Satan's plan is in correlation to gaining leadership over all of humanity. He has many scheme's up his sleeve and revealing his plans starts with being familiar to his strategies, he is a master of detachment and he uses this key to decieve the vast majority astray. However I dont feel comfortable giving him attention he doesn't deserve it. My advice is that you do your own research on the illuminati "his enlightened ones" Jesus is lord
