Prayers fail because they are wishes that are absorbed into the ether. There isn't anyone or anything out there tuned in to every request with the ability to answer said request.

Move along Drich - find some believers to share your blathering with.

Try as you might, you aren't going to convert anyone here.

For the same reasons fairy tales never come true.

You know what, Drich? You're right.
I've been so...selfish.

I'm going to honor my ancestors and pray to the Lwa tonight without expecting anything in return.

Huh

The reason fairy tales do not come true is because every single one is framed out in the past. they are not meant to be a foretelling of the future nor even a wish for that matter..

So why would that keep a prayer from happening.....

Hilarious

because why? dumb or lazy (really stoo-pid)  Hehe

I reject the premise. Every prayer I’ve ever made has been answered promptly and in full.

I do have you on ignore.  

Now and then I check to see if the wizard gave you a brain.
