They have really helped to make me see that there really are no prayers answered anywhere. And when people think that god is answering their petty requests it's nothing more than the horoscope effect or something very similar.

It also shows how stupid and thoughtless people are, because it is no secret that very bad things happen in the world all the time.  Somehow such obvious facts elude them when they go on about how god takes care of every little detail.  Everyone knows that there are more than just little details that are wrong with the way the world is at present, yet they claim how perfect god is in running the world.

It is this sort of thing that prompted Voltaire to write Candide, which is a great little book that mercilessly ridicule's Leibniz's absurd idea that this is the best of all possible worlds.  If you have not read it, I highly recommend it.  It is short enough that one can read it in one day.

Good point.

Thanks, I've just got it on Kindle and it was free, so I'll look forward to reading that  Smile
