The inefficacy of prayer
September 3, 2008 at 7:23 am
In my opinion no one has demonstrated and summed this up more than Frederick Douglas.This quote is in reference to his escape from slavery:

"I prayed for twenty years but received no answer until I prayed with my legs."

Everyone and anyone is welcome to post an opinion on how they feel about prayer.Christians and atheists alike are encouraged to partake of this little discussion.My personal opinion about prayer,and trust me when I was a christian I did plenty of it;is that it is an exercise in futility.If you want to get something done your best bet is to do it yourself.
There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
