In prayer, one goes alone into a dark place, and thinks of other people in a very specific way until the person praying feels better. Funny, I've always called it masturbation.		6
As I understand it, Jesus was arrested, beaten, humiliated, spat upon, crucified and died, all within about a forty hour span, with his body removed from the cross and interred before the beginning of Sabbath. Then, according to the myth, he came back to life, hobnobbed and nattered with his disciples, or with hundreds of people (depending on your source), and then arose into heaven, and since then has been relaxing in a mansion of gold. So -- how can you say he died for you? Have YOU thought about this so-called â€˜deathâ€™ that whatâ€™s-his-name actually suffered? Would YOU go through two days of humiliation and torture, followed by a messy death forâ€¦.the next two thousand years of endless weekend at Party Beach? Compare this to what survivors of Auschwitz went through. They wouldn't have considered the rough handling of the Roman guards much of a cross to bear, would they? Jesus DIDNâ€™T â€˜die for your sinsâ€™. He had a bad weekend for them (maybe). Since then, itâ€™s been nothing but red carpet treatment, cherubic and seraphic entourage, and occasional personal appearances on toast, tortillas, and oil stains.		5
Prayer is a way of doing nothing and still pretend you're "helping", much as clicking "Like" on a social media page allows one to feel smug about "helping" end world hunger.		5
