RE: Prayer

January 10, 2018 at 10:30 pm

Prayer is wishful thinking. You are trying to telepathically communicate with The Supreme Being who should already know what you want. This same Supreme Being, if you go with the Judeo-Christian version, ordered up genocides, rape, child sacrifice and advocated slavery in his magic book. Do you think this Being would alter his Divine Plan for you? What if it was in his plan to give little Timmy leukemia or crush Sally in a head-on collision? Who are we, mere humans, to ask for such a deviation from the Grand Plan?
