          People pray because they are too apathetic to actually do anything about solving their problem(s), so ask their imaginary friend to do it for them. This way they distance themselves from having any resposibility when it goes bad, and just say "Oh well, it was God's will".

                Pretty much hit the nail on the head with that one.

                People usually become religious when they are in the worst point of their life. Alcoholics, drug addicts, bankrupt, poor, convicts, sick, etc. They can't handle the fact that it is themselves that is fucking their lives up, so they "find God" and pass the buck.

                    so which is it? You ask him to forgive you, or you don't ask him for anything?

                          The act itself is at least therapeutic and may have foundations in science. The power of belief or faith has been known to heal at least. The placebo effect. Not just prayer of course, but it's still interesting in that respect. Similiar to Yoga or Meditation. Whatever works?

                          If you like to pray, I don't think it's my right to call you weak or lazy or stupid. Especially, if you aren't trying to force me to do the same.

                              God help's no man ( I assume women as well and all other living things in the dimensions ) that does not help himself/herself or itself.

                              It's God's Inter-dimensional Global policy of non interference.

                              If ya ask me God's spent enough time and money making all this shit, he put down the investments. What happens is upto those that took it.

                                  God has a prime directive!

                                  Actually I pray to the life force that guides me through my journey to show me the path of least suffering to learn the lessons I need to gain the wisdom needed to reach a higher state. Correctly said there is a placaebo effect that makes your mind shape your destiny. And in the words of Anthony Robbins, "If you ask the right questions, the mind, the magnificent thing that it is will come up with solutions all by itself and guide you" (para-phrased)

                                    OK so maybe you don't believe in a magic man in the sky that can admonish you of your sins and give you what you want for X-mas...buy you cannot deny that life is a very very complex mathmatical algorithm that plots the action-reaction the creates the rules of physics. So complicated that it is in a sense, self aware. If you harness this energy and use if to come up with solutions for your life you will gain understanding and a "feel" for this complicated function getting the things you want and gaining the valuable knowledge you need. Praying is only putting into human terms the "asking the right questions", so your brain can use it's understanding of the universal algorithm to point you in the right direction.

                                      you are praying to the wrong dude.
                                      I pray to the dollar.
                                      then when I wakeup in the morning I check stats and there is more money, so I pray to the dollar some more, and then the next morning there is more money.
                                      see it really works.

                                                      I don't pray to god. I pray to Joe Pesci.

                                                      God wasn't really coming through for me. Joe Pesci takes care of buisness.

                                                          It really depends on how you define "god" and what you pray for.

                                                          To ask God to serve your will ("help me win this football game") is pretty silly. But to pray to become more in line with the flow of the universe/god's will/love seems like a good way to focus energy.

I don't do it because I don't believe in God (or in anything spiritual for that matter), so I don't see any sense to it. To me it seems like a waste of time.

                                                                  As long as you leave me alone with it, you can do your praying. Shit, it's your life.
