Old habits die hard.
I had to make a conscious effort to stop talking to god, little prayers, little thanksgivings. When something fortuitous happened I had to make the effort to not give a little "thank-you Lord". When problems arose I had to stop with the "please God..."
When my daughter was ill in hospital with pneumonia a year ago I din't pray. C'mon Stew, use your head, there is no God. If there was, why would Briony be sick in the first place? To test me. To test you? what kind of sick bastard would harm your child to test you? C'mon be logical, you KNOW there's no God. It's just you and your family armed with 21st century medical science that are going to lick this. Put your trust in the numbers, pneumonia gets beaten all the time by the medics.
And when she came home 2 days later I gave my thanks and praise to the doctors and nurses.
Christianity is a hell of a monkey on your back to shake off.

'How can you say, "We are wise, for we have the law of the LORD," when actually the lying pen of the scribes has handled it falsely? Jer 8:8
