Of course, Musket, your contention that prayer is arrogant, depends on whether the rest of us accept your definition of prayer, and your definitions of God, faith, religion, and the rest of it. And what you define is not according to the thinking of intelligent religious people.

A classic case of argumentum ad absurdum.

I don't ask God for anything in prayer. I seek God in prayer. If nothing else, the silence does me a lot of good - but I think it does a lot more.
