Quote:Here’s why it’s time to call bullshit on prayer requests

Quote:In the face of terrorist tragedies or natural disasters (sometimes called “acts of God”), preachers and politicians call for more prayer. And why not? It costs them nothing and earns them points. Public opinion and even the Bible are on their side. “Cast all your cares on him, for he cares for you,” said one Bible writer. “Ask and you will receive,” promised another.

Even though research shows that prayer requests don’t have any measurable effect—that God, at best, operates at the margins of statistical significance—pro-prayer platitudes and scripts are cherished and repeated and handed down from generation to generation.

A bitch, ain't it?

You forgot to purchase the holy motor oil. Now it won't reach you in time. The answer is NO!

You know how this works. What the hell were you thinking?

I guess the only upside is that it makes people feel like they are doing something even when they are doing nothing. Shit, actually that's not an upside, it would be better to tell people to actually help and not just feel like they are helping.
