Ya... I kinda see prayer as a waste of time and energy, so RichM is right... "it's irrelevant"... Kinda like this 'positive energy' clap-trap... it's all just wishing... and as my grandfather used to say, "You can wish in one hand and crap in the other and see which one piles up first."

If I ask for help and you wanna do something to help me, then DO something to help me...

Was it George Carlin who said in one of his more recent shows, that he no longer worships 'God'... he worships the sun... but he prays to Joe Pesci...

And his prayers are being favourably answered in about the same ratio as when he prayed to 'God'...

And it's easy to believe in the existance of Joe Pesci...
