There we have it. Prayer -can- supernaturally produce real goods, most often "through" people apparently, but not limited to that approach...and much more often ephemeral "strength"....some folks just don't like the way that other folks pray or what they pray for.
I am jacks complete lack of surprise.
The whole thing is silly. People tying themselves into knots trying to maintain non-supernaturally miraculous this or thats in the vaguest sense possible, unwilling to go out on the limb and say "sure, god could give that woman a loaf of bread, somehow, he just decided not to because he didn't like the sound of her muttered verse", and yet believing exactly that all the while.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
