I think that sometimes if you want something so much, some sort of fluke in nature happens and it works out.

well, I look at it this way, God hears all prayers and he answers them, sometimes the answer is no

No. I don't believe in the religious stuff, and praying goes right along with it. It's just a day of good luck or something. I don't know. Meh....my views are unimportant, and will most likely get bashed.

I really don't know. I've felt that praying has help me get though think/ do better at things, but I don't think anything ever came directly from it. But I don't pray that much so yeah...

I do think praying works, as said before, if you believe enough and it's meant to happen. If your belief is strong enough and your prayers are reasonable (not acting like God is santa clause) then yes, I think it can work.

This is an interesting question...hmm...
Well. Me personally, I am not religious. Therefore I do not pray and don't believe in it. However, to someone who is religious, praying may well be a very important part of their religion, and life. So...I think, really, it all comes down to how much you believe in the religion and who you are praying to.
It's sort of a state of mind. If you believe it that much, it may well be real, at least to you.
Anyway, I think praying helps people's religion seem..closer, and more important to them, so in that respect I guess it does help, yeas.

It all depends on a person's beliefs. If they believe in their heart that it works...perhaps it does.

Well actually The Bible has been to blame for quite a few deaths also.....the witch hunts, the crusades,the cults..........there are cults in organized religiion today, I stay away from it.........

some churches go 5-7 days a week, it's called revival....??? they talk in tongues and brainwash the uninitiated, put a lot of FEAR in peoples heads......that takes a while to get OUT!!!

It's insane........

I'm spiritual, not religious......

a technician of the sacred, maybe.

lol. i used to pray when i thought my mum would spank me..n usually she didn't so i owe whoever helped me out. i personally do not believe in God...i believe in spirits, spells/incantations and energy. me n my bassist have read eahcothers minds and i take away my best friend's headaches with my own energy...it feels good when you help people. but i don't really pray much...i sometimes make a wish, but i don't pray.

I was wondering how come some people say Christians are resopsible for some deaths and yet the people who used to kill Christians arent metioned at all. :/

Well that'd be bad debating skills, wouldn't it?

Admitting your argument to be slightly tainted is not a good idea, and it all depends on what side you're coming from...
