Evidence for Believing

[Nay_Sayer]

So going by this, My lawn will cut itself but only after I've gone over it twice with my mower?

This statement baffles me, I will seek guidance from FSM in perhaps clarifying the popes and by proxy your confusing statement.

No, you have to cut the grass. 

The issue is whether prayer is a request for wish-granting sky-daddy to do it for you. The Pope's statement will seem baffling to people who assume that prayer is necessarily a request for wish-granting sky-daddy to give them something.

Well that'd how prayer works for me, I ask and I always receive.

Maybe you're doing it wrong.
