        @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?

        Replying to @slim_mirokujin

        @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.

        @mgump Not perfect. Poor garden control, easily foiled, endorsed slavery & genocide. Why does a perfect god need constant worship? #insecure

        @SamHarrisOrg that is perhaps the saddest video I’ve ever seen. I couldn’t watch the whole thing it just made me angry and sad.

        @SamHarrisOrg Is there any difference in the ignorance of American believers in Christian faith healing, and that of Afghan hill tribesmen?
