When you think about it the idea of praying is really silly. What the person is doing is whining to his favorite deity that the deity's plan of causing the person all kinds of grief and misery really sucks and that he wants a better deal. So if a believer really trusts his favorite deity he would accept whatever comes his way because it's the deity's will.
There are few things I hate more than public prayers.

No, Jesus didn't lie, Man lied from the beginning by making up the god concept, we can't really consider a primary mythical effect of such concept to be a lie since that was the purpose of it all the time. Did zeus or hades lie too? Maybe who knows from a mythical perspective
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you

We interpret everything we read. Are you knocking me for thinking?
Sorry matey, nothing personal but I need to call bullshit on that one.
"Selective thinking" at best.
Why don't you think about how can the earth be 6000 years old contrary to tons of evidence? Think about all the evoutionary facts available.
We all think what we want to think. If you don't believe in the human pursuit of truth through the scientific method, then where to from here?
