Quote:Actually it does, in every aspect of very soceity we have ever created. The fact that you do not like this and the fact you rebel against this idea is a 'might makes it right' in action.
This is the childish tantrum when someone is told santa isn't real.
You "I want to believe that light is green"
Me, "It is not green, it is red, you need to stop"
You, "Why wont you let me believe the light is green"
Me, "Because it is red and you are about to run the light"
You, "BULLY"
Your crappy mentality when someone tells you the truth is the same crappy mentality that caused the church to put Galileo put him under house arrest when he told the truth about our helocentric solar system.
NOBODY is bullying you by saying that prayer is merely a placebo superstition that false comfort of wishful thinking stimulates the pleasure chemicals in the brain. You are talking to yourself. Otherwise if prayer really did work then Muslims seem to be far more successful in numbers but i don't see you jumping into their camp.
5 million pdopld die world wide per year from old age, crime, disease and war, and ultimately everyone dies. If prayer worked, and life was not simply the crap shoot it is in reality, then we could use prayer like a microscope or computer and it would be universal. The reality is however prayer is only universal in that humans are capable of falling for wishful thinking. But it is NOT real and it IS merely humans falling for their own superstitions and credulity.
If you want to live in stone age thinking we cant and wont stop you physically, but we are not bullies merely by telling you you need to grow up. You don't pray to the sun like the Egyptians did, and you don't pray to Allah either, and you don't need to pray to your work of fiction either.
