Praying to God is completely without facts. It’s a total waste of time that’s bordering on the delusional.[/quote]
Would have to disagree with Brian once again. (Allan is smiling)
Deep spiritual prayer is essentially meditation. Meditation is essentially mental exercise that help train the mind. Studies of all forms of meditation, from Taoism, to Buddhism, to Yoga, to Meditative prayer found in Islam/Christianity/Judaism, all points to stimulation and thicker areas in the frontal lobe that regulate emotion and cognitive planning. Essentially the meditation practitioner becomes happier by being able to control negative feelings and enhance positive feelings.
So there’s nothing wrong with prayer to a false god or allah. Because often times blind faith make these prayers work better. The problem just comes when different groups claim their false god is superior and the one and only. And that is the problem central to the Abrahamic religions.
