Maybe praying did once work...

[Cinjin]

When I saw this thread I immediately thought of one thing. Maybe god did set up prayer so that he could hear all his little creations ask him for anything they wanted. I mean, being the benevolent provider of things for Adam and Eve and then their extended family ... it was cool and really no big deal. Even fun to be the big genie who gave them what they wanted ... prayer worked awesome. Buuuuut - millions of people later - prayer started getting way outta hand. I mean "the phone wouldn't stop RINGING" in gods ear and maybe he just shut it down. Seriously, maybe god just didn't plan ahead very well and didn't think about handling prayer in bulk. Millions of people praying 3 times a day at LEAST! I would think that would get a little more than overwhelming ... thus the prayer system was retired and god just thought ... "I better not tell 'em, I'll just say don't question my plans if anyone gets suspicious."


and that - is why prayers go "unanswered"


(or maybe the only thing you ever accomplished while praying was looking like a goddamn lunatic)
