[quote=Anonymous]I'm pretty much in the nothing camp in answer to the OP's question. I view prayer as a crutch at best. I was watching the news interview a man in one of the small Virginia tornadoes yesterday. He said he wasn't scared because he prayed to God to protect him. And he was fine. But there are so many people who pray not to be killed, for their kids to survive cancer, etc. and they die anyhow. I can't reconcile that. Is God playing favorites? And in a way when people ask for prayers, especially from people they don't even know, it almost seems like it's sort of a popularity contest, whoever gets the most prayers gets to survive. I do tell people who ask for prayers that I am keeping them in my thoughts (which I do) and hoping for the best outcome. That kind of positivity and support I do think is valuable.[/quote]
