Did They Not Pray Hard Enough

[ThomM]

Prayer is not a formal wishing ceremony. It's not a way for Christians to change their lots in life, and it is certainly not a way to change the mind of God. Prayer is a tool used to change the mind of the one who is praying to seek and accept God's will and to make it their own.

Actually Prayer is a complete waste of TIME

THERE has never been a study using a statistically significant double blinded sample - that has been published in a peer reviewed scientific journal that has established that prayer has any effect beyond that of chance - REGARDLESS of who or what is prayed to.

To claim that prayer in xtianity works - you would expect the results to be significantly different from those of studies of other gods and religions - but NONE have been so.

The claim that there is a will of god is also something claimed by humans that has never established to be true - since there has never been established that any PARTICULAR supernatural god (Not humans) has any proof of existence in any way.

All of this "will of god" nonsense is still another way that HUMANS create things that force their feelings on others. And as the populations become more and more educated - less and less people believe. THERE is already a worldwide shortage of cons (Called preaches or priests) - to sell the nonsense. And the religions have been forced to combine and/or close congregations due to lack of participants and or money.

And most religions are only gaining ground in the third world - where education is limited and belief in superstitions is still well rooted into Lightning and Thunder - which we now know is not related to divine nonsense.
