| I'm reminded of the words of Voltaire who once said, "I only ever made one prayer to god, a very short one: Oh Lord, please make my enemies ridiculous! And god granted my prayer."
As social mammals, we have an instinctive desire to be protected by the "alpha ape". We want there to be somebody to help us when we need help. God is simply the product that fills that marketing niche. Hence some pray to god. It does nothing save make the theists feel better and is an important part of religious propaganda. |
