Pray until something happens?? What a crock!
No shit. Something always happens, either good or bad, but eventually the ultimate bad will happen to us all, between life and death everyone has a range of both good and bad happen to them, some more or less than others.
I especially hate it in sports and entertainment and wealth when people thank a god. Really? With all the bad shit this selective deadbeat doesn't stop, like childhood death from disease and famine and war worldwide, you'd think if such an all powerful god existed, it would be better PR for this deity to reduce it or never have it happen in the first place. But who cares right, he certainly should care more about your personal success than say, some starving kid.
It never occurs to a believer that a god does not exist, and the only way we can reduce human suffering is to STUDY the reasons why conditions are bad for some people and work to reduce it rather than simply cross your fingers(pray to the non existent).
my thoughts exactly
