[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For me it’s the concept of prayer. It just doesn’t make sense. That a loving benevolent god would answer some prayers and not others. Deem some worthy of saving and not others, especially innocent children. It just cannot be reconciled with any modern definition of religion. [/quote]

Eastern religions are more based on practice than belief. When you see prayer as practice for yourself to meditate and find a good answer,  prayer ceases to be confusing. Because there is no God who grants wishes. Prayer is just a mechanism to reach higher intellect. [/quote]

There are definitely many, particularly in the US, who believe God grants wishes.[/quote]

Prayer is centered on communication or connection with the divine, even when asking for something specific.

A wish is centered on outcome. Christianity does not teach that God always grants our prayers. The answer can be yes, no, or not right now. Christians know that God often says no. They absolutely know that. [/quote]
