You're dumber than I thought, just go look in the mirror and point.
The ad homs are palpable on this thread.

Anyway, I think the Christians on this Thread have made some pretty good points about why prayer is important, though I agree with BWS that the icky feeling sucks when people tell me that they'll pray for me. (As a Mormon, I get this a lot from other religions.)
I think the point of prayer is only what you make of it. "Ask and ye shall receive". It's simple if you use faith. God will mete out to you what he desires to give you. He's fickle like that, as is his prerogative. If a person starts a prayer and doesn't expect much, he won't receive much.
Prayer is useful if one actually makes use of it.
