Yep, Prayer is super powerful.

Which is why it's ended all wars, poverty, hunger, disease. It's why people who can't walk suddenly stand up and walk all the time. It's why churches and schools never get shot up. It's why missing children never stay missing for long.

Oh wait... no. Prayer isn't very powerful at all. It hasn't accomplished anything. You'll get as much from blowing out candles on your birthday cake, only at least then you get cake at least. Prayer is nothing more than wishful thinking and confirmation bias.
