@SamHarrisOrg No, that is what happens when "believers" try to test God. Real prayer seeks God's will, not the will of the one praying. -
@mgump@SamHarrisOrg Ah. REAL prayer. Why didn't you say so? Guess they should've consulted you first? Does real prayer improve 50/50 odds? -
@slim_mirokujin No, because "odds" signify a desired outcome. That kind of desire = man's will. Real prayer asks that God's will be done. -
@mgump Real prayer- you should trademark it. Odd how Jesus pretty much said the opposite. That's the problem w/ religious txt- interpretive -
@slim_mirokujin Jesus did not say the opposite. "Thy will be done..." ""Father, if you are willing, take this cup of suffering away..." etc. -
@mgump He did. I'll provide verses l8r. Prayer is useless by yer def. God's will be done regardless of yer input. Y pray for what he wants? -
@slim_mirokujin Bc what He wants is always best, even if we can't see how. If He's perfect & has eternal perspective, that = perfect will. -
