 The Power Of Prayer.
click to enlarge
Every week or so on the Bikejournal forum, a cyclist is injured and a thread is started asking for fellow BJ'ers to pray for them.

While I hope everyone recovers completely and quickly from any injury, I really don't understand this need to pray. (In most cases to a violent mythical Hebrew deity)

Heck, if I were an all powerful loving god, I wouldn't have let the cyclist get injured in the first place! But that's just me.

If prayer actually worked, sure I'd pray. But it doesn't.
The best explanation of prayer I've found is here... godisimaginary.com/i1.htm

Another great article on how prayer works... whywontgodhealamputees.com/superstition.htm

Does god answer prayers? Here's the answer... whywontgodhealamputees.com/god5.htm

Until next time, be safe, heal quickly and completely, and keep riding!

Peace.
