Of What Use Is Prayer? by advocate666: 10:36am On Dec 21, 2012
Whether you are a believer or not, you would agree with me that prayer achieves no tangible purpose. For non believers, this is obvious but for those that believe, it is very worrying when they come to this realisation.

You see, Jizz-Us said that his father in heaven already knows what you want and if what you want is in accordance with his will, it will be done. He said that even plants and animals that don't ask for anything receive loads, talkless of his children. Infact he asked everybody to stop praying and just hide in a corner and ask his father for daily bread and the rest will be added.

Bearing this in mind, I wonder why the religious still pray in contradiction to the teachings of Jizz-Us and in the face of its proven inutility.

At best it helps you to focus on what you want to do. Otherwise its a distraction. Makes you lazy and prevents you from working hard and preparing diligently for what you want to do.

exactly.prayer makes people believe in such ridiculous things like "blessings of the gentiles will become mine".

This is true. It is better to look for practical solutions to problems and pray that you dont decieve yourself with pointless praying.

Imagine someone on aids antiretrovirals abandoning the treatment for the miracle of prayer? We all know how it ended up sad

Since the time have been praying.God has never let me down. I have many testimonies. I am telling you, God is very close to us more than anything. You did not believe in God how will you know if prayer is effective or not. Don't go beyond your boundary.

By the way,if prayer is of no use, why are you afraid to pronounce the name of Jesus? Spell his name very well if you are not afraid of him.

Prayer is seriously burning evil agents like you and destroying your wicked projections that's why you hate it. Thank Jesus christ for giving us the power through which to fight back against satan. Above all its great to hear real satanist wailing about the efficacy of prayer. Glory be to God.

You sure are spreading the love Christianity is so desperately known for, especially since its Christmas.
Jesus would be proud of you my friend, you make him look really good.

It seems that prayer actually has effects: it makes things worse.

Why pray to god if god already knows what you want and know the right thing to do? Your prayer is thus a useless activity in telling god what to do because he does what he wants.

WHy are you avoiding the point of the question? Somebody (or something) told you to ask him for something and he will do it. But he already knows what you want and knows that doing it is the right thing to do and knows that he will do it anyway no matter what. Why ask him then?
