The problem with prayer

[CoxRox]

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.

I think you are the arrogant one in presuming you 'know' about people who pray. It is not arrogant to pray, maybe silly from non believers' points of view,which I understand. As for those who may 'pretend' to pray and be doing something for you I'm sure there are dishonest people who pretend to be believers for material gains. People like FutureandaHope on the other hand, are sincere (even if misguided). I would thank someone if they prayed for me. They spent some of their time on me. A very unselfish thing in my opinion.
