What Is The Point Of Prayer?

[Esquilax]

It's essentially talking to God, there are various different ways you can pray it doesn't always have to be verbal or asking for something particularly.

Except that the question isn't what you're doing, but how you know its having the effect you ascribe to it. Say you pray to god right now: how do you know that a: the communication is being received, b: the entity you are communicating with is your specific god, and c: that entity is willing and able to respond, and in fact, does respond?

And how do you intend to demonstrate all of those things outside of your own personal experience?
