Oh, you mean - it's more like a magic spell? Or a super power? Or like summoning Captain Planet?
Yeah, sport - the day I care to read your tortured apologetics and your convoluted, ad hoc pseudo-explanations of magical sh*t, will be the day Jesus comes... all over your face, neck and chest.

Neither. Lol... I'm just having fun watching you dance around my point. Whether you pray or not - it makes no difference to the person you're praying for. The actually helping part - that's for them, The prayer - that's just something for you to feel, like you have magical powers. An indulgence. Sort of mental masturbation, if you will - feels nice, and may be in itself mostly harmless, but is not particularly productive and great number of religious people use it as a substitute for actually doing anything, or even as an excuse to act like holier than thou a**holes.
If you only help someone and neglect to pray - the outcome for that person is exactly the same as if you did the mumbo jumbo thing. You can even still tell them you will pray, if they're superstitious and you think it might make them feel good - and then not pray. No difference. Except for you and the fancy narrative of your existence you've become accustomed to.

LOL... That's so rich, it just has to be fattening...
I'll get over it the day christians get over what consenting adults do in the privacy of their own bedrooms. Deal?
