    I'm not sure how I backpedaled... I probably could have used some better wording in my first post though.

    If praying is good for you, then great. I'm pretty sure there have been studies on it and how it affects the brain. It does make people feel better. Other than that though, it really doesn't accomplish anything.

    It's a pretty strong placebo for a lot of people. At least in terms of praying for themselves. In terms of "let's pray for timmy's cancer to go away" not so much.

        I would venture to say that even Pascals wager applies in reverse too?

        if you dont pray for healing over the effects and devastation over diseases like cancer,

        dont expect a miracle then?

        my faith says to expect and look for such miracles when you pray it in Jesus' name....

          So you think prayer has a tangible effect on the world around you?

            Woody backpedals because he never learned to pedal his bike forwards.

            Neck cramps from looking backwards to where he's going? That would explain

            a decrease in blood flow to his brain, resulting in his weird posts, scientificly speakin...

              I cant know the results of what prayer by believers will have accomplished in holding back catastrophe,

              or helped with a miracle healing for someone, in the world at large.

              But believing when that prayer is in accordance with God's will it can and does change things....

              and its called faith.

                  I prayed that the browns season last year would go off without an attack from an elephant. It didn't! I mean, I can't know what effect prayer had on that...

                      Sorry, I'll stop mocking now. It's not big and it's not clever. You have every right to worship who you like of course, and if prayer helps you feel better about yourself then have at it. Just don't expect everyone else to follow suit, and don't expect people not to be a little pissed that while they're actually doing things, you're just praying.

                        I prayed my wisdom teeth removal would be performed without any issues. It mostly did! We don't know prayer didn't cause that

                                    those sites are blocked at my work, may I ask what you at least "think" they're going to prove? You often make assertions than provide links that in no way contribute to the authenticity of your assertions. It's like "as long as I link something...it proves i'm right". yeah it doesn't work that way.

                                      Who cares about the rainforest? Other countries can't force South America to cough up billions in reparations... And that boys, is the goal!

You have every right to worship who you like of course, and if prayer helps you feel better about yourself then have at it. Just don't expect everyone else to follow suit, and don't expect people not to be a little pissed that while they're actually doing things, you're just praying.

                                        youre right I dont care about the mocking....

                                        but this sir is a direct insult and is not true!

                                        Sure, plenty of people will do things as normal then add a little prayer here or there. No issue with that. I have issue with people saying things like "jesus wouldn't let the planet get really bad, let's pray for him" or "I don't need any medication, I have prayer" - things like that.

                                          Who cares about the rainforest? Other countries can't force South America to cough up billions in reparations... And that boys, is the goal!
