The inefficacy of prayer

[Brick-top]

What I mean though is that "prayer" to an atheist is simply thinking to yourself about certain problems. It isn't a conversation with God because we do not believe on exists. It is therefore thinking to yourself.

So you're saying the voice in your head is talking to you is prayer while Christians are using that voice to talk to something else?

And how do you know Christians pray to solve problems? I've talked to them they mostly just praise him. And I'm not doing that.
