When Are People Going to Accept and Acknowledge That Prayer Doesn't Work and Is A Waste of Time?

"Pope Francis is urging people to work together to stop crimes against migrants, including the 71

who perished in a smuggler's truck on the main Budapest-Vienna highway.

Francis on Sunday invited faithful in St. Peter's Square in Rome to pray silently with him for migrants who die "on their terrible journeys." He also prayed that God would "help us to cooperate effectively to impede these crimes, which offend the entire human family." Francis noted Vienna's cardinal was in the square." 

This from an AP article dated August 30, 2015.

If prayers were answered these people wouldn't be dead. Period. So, now after they are dead you're praying. Come on folks.

OK, enough of this....

Want a little project? Want to exercise your brain a little? Look up the following:

confirmation bias

cognitive dissonance

motivated reasoning

Yes, the above will help you understand why we all do things that make no sense. Why we all believe things that make no sense. (BTW folks, not that it's important...I'm right there with you. Though, frankly, I don't fall for the big ones like god(s), prayers, and all of the so-called complementary and alternative medicine bullshit, psychics (for cryin' out loud), astrologers, and all the rest.)

Give your brain a chance!!!!

OK, I broke one of my rules. I posted when ticked off....
