Drich,
I simply don't understand the intent of the OP. I understand what you're after and had some of the same concerns when I was 6 and made to memorize the Lord's Prayer and the traditional Catholic dinner chant, but what type of reaction did you expect?
Anti-theist - Fuuuuuck
Athesit - Pray to who?
Deist - May as well pray to a magic eight ball. Quit bothering God with your troubles/wishes.
Muslim/Jew/other religion - doesn't apply and breaks down to arguing about divine texts and books
Christian - Aren't Christian forums better places for this discussion?
OR????????
Have you already tried the Christian joints and found that a vast majority believe in intercessory prayer and won't engage you in the nuance of what Jesus was supposed to have taught?
