Prayer is dumb. What it actually shows is the arrogance of religious believers that some all powerful creator god cares about them to meddle in their everyday life.

It's also an effortless way for people to pretend they're doing something to help you, when really they not.
"The way to see by faith is to shut the eye of reason." Benjamin Franklin
