Prayers

I cringe whenever I hear someone says, “I pray....”

Sure, you can pray all you want. But I am sure that is not how things work.

The man who prays is the one who thinks that God has arranged matters all wrong, but who also thinks that he can instruct God how to put them right. Half-buried in the contradiction is the distressing idea that nobody is in charge, or nobody with any moral authority. The call to prayer is self-cancelling. - Christopher Hitchens

The creator who could put a cancer in a believer's stomach is above being interfered with by prayers. - Bret Harte

Why do you waste time praying? The answer is to make yourself feel better by pretending you did something when you did nothing. Praying works exactly the same as ‘making a wish’ does for kids. Sometimes life brings you what you want and sometimes it doesn’t. Why would you not trust your magic God to already know what to do to ‘heal the land’ or cure someone’s cancer, or make it sunny for your barbeque on Sunday? Will you change God’s mind away from his Divine plan? - Unknown
