The belief in a being in the sky in not necessary for prayer. There is a huge difference between prayer and 'talking to yourself'.

All I am arguing is that you cannot make the statement 'how can anyone believe in the power of prayer'. The power of prayer is real, but smaller and in a different place than posited.

Thanks,
