The problem with prayer
#10
RE: The problem with prayer
I actually had a thread entitled the innefficacy of prayer.I too believe that prayer to a certain degree is arrogant.But this depends on what you are praying for.As if God does not have enough on his hands managing the universe and trying to execute his predestined plan.

Christianity does nothing more than boost a persons ego by making them think that they are very important in the eyes of God and that they can have a very personal relationship with him/her/or it.It gives them that false sense of purpose in this our vast universe.Prayer is really nothing more than a form of meditation.You can recieve great results to many situations that seem helpless by just meditating on the problem.Self-reflection and a calm mind can work wonders.Talking to the air is useless and the results are not in the hands of God but in the hands of chance and coincidence.And lets not forget the false security that prayer provides.Leaving matters in the hands of God is foolish.I dont see any difference with a schizophrenic talking to the voices in his head and a person talking to an invisible man in the sky.
There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
