I am just waiting for the magnetic car ribbon to come out.

5. This is what I don't get about praying...
Aside from being cathartic for the Pray-er, what is the point? If God is going to help someone/remedy some situation, does he really have to be "asked" to do so? Isn't he just going to do the same thing, regardless-- or is it thought that if enough people pray and pray well enough, they can bend the will of God?:shrug:

6. I guess it's a nice gesture, but...
here's something I'm not sure I understand.

Natural disasters are considered by more than a few as an "Act of God"

So, I'm a bit confused about the idea of praying for something that some would consider the handiwork of God.

I guess I'm in the dark about "God's Will" and all.

8. It's one of those "instantaeous posts" moments.
My take is that it's a "great minds think alike" kind of thing. :-)
