Funnily enough, a post of mine didn't get there earlier where I defend the idea of prayer from a personal perception. (If it gives you peace of mind then great, it does it for you.) The point exists though Joe that many churches encourage people to pray for personal gain and solutions to temporal issues. That the same sentient being who allows hate to exist might give you divine guidance with your lottery tickets is rather baffling. Your own logical take makes sense but as ever, as I don't reflect every non Christian, I doubt organised religions wish all adherents to reflect Joe Offer , as you have found out yourself... Following on from Akenaton's post above. If all his bigoted offensive pronouncements were deleted from the database, the website would load quicker. And cleaner.
