Prayer these days is horribly, horribly misguided. Prayer in the ancient days was intended for us to be still and silent, to set time out in the day to be one with the silence of God. It was much the same way how Buddhist Monks meditate; it's a way of allowing the mind to let go, and to bring some inner peace and calmness.
Over time, prayer became this horribly selfish, egocentric event where we ask god to give us things, to bend reality to our own will. This is fucking stupid and any intellectually honest person knows that's a load of horseshit.
It's fantasy either way.
Placebo is not fantasy, it's a real thing. That's why people even do this shit, because if nothing transpired in the mind, they wouldn't fucking do it.
