Prayer works? Prayer never works.

You believe God answers your prayers, he’s active in our world and he’s all powerful, all loving and all just. Five (5) million children die of starvation each year. If your God ignores five (5) million children each year, God certainly does not take notice of your sex life. Or gay marriage.

For the record. No prayers are ever answered. God is imaginary. Any prayers that you think are answered is a coincidence.

Am I telling you what to think? No I'm asking you to use your brain. Does the church tell you what to think? Yes, they tell you that prayer works. It's a lie.

The church will never put prayer into perspective as I have below:
  • If God answers your prayers, why won't God heal amputees?
  • Someone's cancer going into remission is no miracle but when cancer suddenly disappears from the face of the earth overnight without the aid from medical science: Miracle.
  • Food getting through to a hungry village: Human perseverance. Starvation vanishing from earth without a reason overnight: Miracle.
  • A child is born: Science. The spontaneous end of birth defects: Miracle.
