The only thing that you can say I could be afraid of is let's say being homeless, pain, sikness, etc. Even that I am not afraid of those things. In order for homelessness let's say not to happen I have to budget and work. Not pray to God. I don't pray.
Pel, I did not mean to imply that you were afraid of God or anyone else.
As for homelessness, budgeting and work will not necessarily save you, as I was homeless for nine years, courtesy of my ex-wife, a court taking 85% of my disability compensation for child support when she made $100k+, and a tornado that destroyed my home.
That said, having been homeless, I am not afraid of it either. It is a condition you learn to live with, die from, or learn to overcome, just like my epilepsy.
And most Discordians do not pray: Eris can be very fickle and give you exactly what you pray for. That's dangerous.
Wiccans likewise do not pray as such. It is more useful to work toward your goals than to ask the heavens to drop your wish upon you. Besides, it might crush you if it falls from a great enough height.
