Prayer

If any of you guys have read my blogs from before, you've probably come across the video about 10 Questions That Every Christian Must Answer. Well, I thought that video was rather interesting, so I decided that I'd post another blog from the same user. (If any of you are interested in an atheistic point of view of God's existence, visit the website: whywontgodhealamputees.com)Sorry about making you guys watch all these super long videos. It's okay if you don't watch the entire thing.

This particular video happens to be about prayer and how praying to a milk jug is just as rewarding as praying to God because you receive the same results and answers, those answers being yes, no and wait. He considers the concept of prayer to be an optical illusion. The narrator is inferring that praying to an inanimate object will produce the same results as praying to what I'd like to believe is a Divine Being. Even though what He is saying may be true, the story that comes to mind is the story of when Elijah prays to God to send down fire. The other gods that were being prayed to were unable to produce the same miracle and I believe the same would go for a milk jug. The narrator claims that the answers that occur as a result of prayer occur by chance and have nothing to do with God's power. However, there are inexplicable miracles that occur daily and I believe that some sort of Higher Power is the only valid explanation. Definitely, nothing a milk could possibly have a hand in doing.
