The problem with prayer

[Eilonnwy]

I had some nuns teaching, and other times just regular teachers. My school was a weird mixed bag, but I usually got chastized the most for my atheism by the nuns of course. ^^()

Interestingly enough I'm listening to an old podcast of the Non-Prophets where they read a section of Daniel Dennetts letter from after a very life threatening surgery he had. They read a specific section on prayer which I thought is very relevant to the conversation. It's linked here: http://www.edge.org/3rd_culture/dennett0...index.html

The specific section on prayer is the 9th paragraph if you want to skip over the rest but I recommend reading it in entirety. Good stuff.
