Does Prayer Really Work? Does God Even Care?

RE: Does Prayer Really Work? Does God Even Care?
Quote: Is there any reason at all for you to believe in this stuff, or were you brought up into it like me? If you looked at your faith as a non-believer, what would you think of your faith?

I was brought up into it. I started to feel like it was a bunch of wishful thinking and nothing more. Now that I don't believe anymore faith looks like a special kind of emptiness in people's minds.
A self-sustaining, willful emptiness that looks like it's full of good stuff from the inside, but that actually closes your mind to logical thinking.
"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.

Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.

Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.

Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.

Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."
