Prayer = Pouring Gasoline on a house fire in the vain hope of putting the fire out.

Most of the religions are apocalyptic so it isn't surprising that they deflect the question that would force them to admit that what they really are is a death cult.

I always like to say - open both hands, pray into one, shit into the other, and see which one fills up faster.

It could be that they possibly all have a middle finger that they are displaying very prominently.

God does not heal or cure COVID-19 any more than he takes care of the kids at St. Jude.

If prayer worked, the Black Death and the Holocaust would be minor footnotes in history books

I wonder if praying as to go through some kind of heavenly call center? Or perhaps they have a office system where different prayers have to go to different departments. The covid prayers are perhaps in someones in box now or being shuffled from illnes and general sickness department to plagues and pandemics. Or as it is so huge they need to set up a special covid deparment and the various heavenly beings are trying not to get stuck with the job. Just like a lot of problems in life it is caused by admin getting it wrong. Ok now i need more coffee

How can you say prayer is ineffective? Just imagine what the death toll would be if they stayed at home instead of gathering to pray.

It is gawds will!

No, if not for the prayers that number would be 3M or 7M, or 10M!! God is merciful.

No kidding

Nothing fails like prayer.

Perhaps people will see that prayers is just a waste of time. Can anyone name an instance when prayer alone has led to any solution to a problem or made a discovery that helped mankind?

I am sending thoughts and crossing my fingers for a better tomorrow for all.
