[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How can this be a serious question? Don't you think murder and terrorism victims pray as they are killed? Don't you think starving and abused children pray for any kind of help? Do you really think those prayers aren't answered because a violent, senseless, painful end is a better "way" for those victims? This is why I could never be religious. How do you square you belief that god should help you out with the mundane business of your life while others suffer incredibly with no out?[/quote]

Not really, but I think often believers just aren't thinking about the sorts of things you raise, or are thinking that God works in mysterious ways and might just answer their prayers instead of someone else's.  Plus many people are taught to pray as children, by adults that they trust and depend on, so it becomes ingrained and is not treated with the same kind of logic that they use in other  situations.

As fewer people are raising their children with religion, there should be fewer of these kinds of questions about prayer in the future.[/quote]

I don't think that will happen any time soon.[/quote]

I think it's happening now - slowly.[/quote]
