Yes, the bullshitters never seem to have an adequate answer for that. Whenever there is some tragedy and they start with this praying shit it is appropriate to ask what the fuck they are praying for? Do they want god to undo the event? That seems reasonable but if god gave a rat's ass wouldn't he have taken care of that in the first place? Or are they praying for the souls of the dead? But what good does that do? The issue is not HOW they got dead but merely the fact that they are. Their admission to heaven or hell is dependent on their life up to that time.
They don't seem to have this prayer shit thought out at all.
If Jesus was God why did he keep repeating his prayer over and over? Who was he praying to?
