Awe Philo, just couldn't stay away could you? And now making friends in the religion section.
Why would you bother to post here if you are so opposed to religion. You are either mocking these people, once again just entertaining yourself, or are secretly a believer looking for something to grab a hold of.
As for prayers, whatever get you through the night. I just think it's funny when people pray for material things. Like an all powerful omnipotent force of creation would care if some guy won the lottery.
I also thought it was funny when I played football when people would pray for a victory. If you are a believer, pray for no one to get hurt, but a victory, come on now! Unless God's got a fin on the game or is your starting tailback I would doubt very much that the success of a game even measures on the all-powerful's Richter scale of global priorities.

The whole point of this thread is to make fun of the idiocy (which you yourself suggest) of praying to an omnipotent being. I feel exactly like you on the matter of religion....I'm an atheist who just likes to make fun of theistic idiocy. 🙂
