Like I said, I am very very sure, that the croats and bosnians who were being interned in camps, and executed etc. were praying their little asses off. Why wouldn't god answer their prayers?
Age old question... my thoughts turn to Bob Marley's Redemption Song
"How long must they kill our prophets?
While we stand aside and look
Some say it's a part of it
We must fulfill the book"
It's god's will, his great plan, this is fundamental.
Loooong ago I dated a chick whose grandmother would pray for stroplights to change so we could make it somewhere on time, this went on for probably 20 miles, EVERY intersection. Needless to say I didn't volunteer to drive her around, strange person, that's just how she saw it. I thought she was being an asshole to prayer.
MW - IMO you have to accept that people believe in prayer. IMO it's the placebo effect, makes them feel better.
