On the lunacy of prayer
#77
RE: On the lunacy of prayer
GN is hitting on all cylinders now. OFC prayer doesn't work for all of those reasons and more. And don't forget about god's plan. All those people praying for things; at least some of them must contradict god's precious plan. So what happens with that? Prayer is incalculably messy and convoluted. In rational terms, it is impossible because of these complications.

Meditation is quite different from prayer. It is self actualization, it is not begging an imaginary deity for treats.

And Ahri, stop imagining you know anything about what prayer does or what prayers are answered. You can pretend but you must be aware that you know absolutely nothing. To not be aware of this is delusion.

But that's exactly what you represent.  All I did was explain YOUR position.  Pretty ridiculous, and apparently you agree that it is ridiculous.
Why is it so?
