urge to pray - advice/help

[Mister Agenda]

Pray if you want to. No rule against it. I don't, as I find the idea more confusing than comforting (what would I be trying to communicate with? Why would I think anything could hear my thoughts?), but if your mileage varies, go with it. The atheist police won't come along and revoke your license, and if you wind up believing again, it's not like you go to hell for being a Buddhist, we'll manage to live with the idea.
