However your milk jug example is delusional as an example. Like I said in my last reply the milk jug has an experation date as do all things on earth so why would christians pray to anything other than the God of the Bible. You need to find an eternal example to make a comparisoin with God. Not just anything will do God needs a real rival. Sorry it took this long to reply I did not notice you had replied.
Seriously? You're really grasping at straws, here, Godschild. The jug of milk is just as valid for this example as any other object, physical or imaginary. All that is needed for the "prayer illusion" to work is for the believer to attribute "willingness and capability of answering prayers" to the object. It doesn't matter whether the object lasts forever or not, because this is a one-off example. But, hey, if it makes you happy then after my milk jug sours, I bury it and start praying to the milk jug's eternal soul, which resides in milk jug heaven. Alternatively, I just buy a new jug of milk -.-
