The problem with prayer.

[popsthebuilder]

[...]
Prayer helps to both show GOD that though you may not always abide, that you do strive to, and also, to keep one occupied with good acts, deeds, and words, as opposed to those things unbeneficial to any, ultimately.[...]

So you're basically saying - muttering to yourself is meant to be both a way to suck up to your imaginary overlord/sky-daddy and to keep you from wanking yourself into severe dehydration? It's a sad, sad life you must be living - I'll bet you can't wait to go to heaven... where you'll spend eternity sucking up to your overlord/sky-daddy and trying to keep yourself from wanking...

I do not believe in a traditional heaven.

And prayer helps me to keep all sorts of things in mind, from "not wanking it", to doing good without want of reward or attainment in return.

Faith in selfless Unity for Good.
