These are the instances in which I decide to pray:

Flying in an airplane that is going through turbulence.

or

When my team is losing.

What about you all?

Name: VIPPER 2006-02-28 23:09

Every night. Or at least try to.

Name: VIPPER 2006-02-28 23:10

I pray to the a-god in the magical church of atheism!

In other words never.

Well isn't >>3 a winner.

Damn straight.

I have always liked to believe there is some sort of higher power in the world. I think shaping your internal monologue somewhat like a prayer is not a bad thing, and can help you work through tough issues.

I would like to believe there is a god of some sort, it makes the world prettier. I do not believe in yaweh, buddha, krishna, ishtar, allah or shiva.

As for actual praying to a specific God, I haven't done it once since just after my thirteenth birthday, when I realized that no one was really listening.

Zero. I do say "Oh God", "Goddammit", and "Jesus!" for exclamations of fear or excitement. I don't think those are prayers though.

I pray whenever I want someone on 4chan to die

Why do you think God cares about a goddamn sports game... also, what if the other team has a player praying that they don't blow it?

God is always listening. Whether or not he is directly acting, is another question in and of itself. I've come to find that God has the ability to directly involve himself, but his actions may never be recognized.

A question I've been comtemplating for a while:

Hell is defined as separation from God.

So there's two scenarios:

1. We're living in Hell right now.
2. We live with God, but his existence isn't as explicitly stated as we'd like.

"God works in mysterious ways" is Godspeak for "Take care of your damn self!"

"God works in mysterious ways" is Godspeak for "We know it's all made up and doesn't apply to actual circumstance, but interpret it this way and you can still play pretend whenever something happens!"
