prayer is a deeply flawed concept.
as thousands of people are praying for the rain to stop so they can go to work, thousands are praying it continues so they can stay tucked in bed, which ever group life favors will assume their prayers worked
prayers that asks god to change another person’s decisions defeats the whole free will argument. if god can touch the heart of your boss to give you that promotion, then he should’ve been able to touch the heart of rapists to not commit the crime, you can’t pick and choose when god can intervene with the activities of man
and if you truly believe god is omniscient and everything is according to his master plan, then won’t praying be telling him to deviate from that plan for your own personal benefits?
it’s a facade.
Just finished my biannual rewatch of my favourite TV shows and movies.
The Hobbit
The Lord of the Rings
The Vampire Diaries
The Originals
Still as good as ever.
