Prayer: wishing really, really hard that god would stop being such a dick. Results are indistinguishable from random chance.

No, the vast majority of our membership don't pray, you utter bumbling simpleton. Wanna take a lucky swing at why?

Hint:
BECAUSE WE'RE ATHEISTS YOU FACKING DONUT.
You won't believe this, but weather you like to admit it or not you do pray. Your actions pray for you. Whenever you do anything that involves your hands, you're clasping them together in prayer subconsciously. And the reason for that is that, as I have stated dozens of times, prayer is a rational activity. So, you may not realize that you pray, but because you're a human being and not an animal, and because we have a thing called "prayer"--- you do actually pray.

Ummmmm.... NO!

Prayer is a conscious thing people choose to do.

If all believers thought that they wouldn't bother to actually pray now, would they?

When you wrap them around your dick your thinking of God, so I am sure God is pleased with that.

That's part of your problem, no doubt...fixating on what other people do with their dicks.
Weirdo.

He may be on to something. I wrap my hands around my dick while thinking of Mila Kunis from time to time, and she's a goddess....
