Faith isn't in question here Pauline, so you can spare the religious mind manipulation nonsense, cuts no ice with me.
The assertions have variously been that prayer works, that prayer in numbers always works and that more people praying mean more "power"
The reality of what we see in life is that prayer clearly does not work, that millions of fervently praying Christians still see their sons, daughters, parents and friends die of horrible afflictions and diseases often after long periods of suffering.
Despite the most earnest prayers of people like yourselves, we still have cancer and other awful afflictions in the world, innocent children are still dying on a daily basis.
I'm not here trying to tell you what to believe, everyone is entitled to believe any nonsense they like.
I'm here to ask OP and others how you reconcile these claims specifically about PRAYER with the clear reality that it doesn't have any effect. People continue to die.
So I will attempt again to get a sane intelligent answer out of any of you. Is prayer not working because:
1) Not enough people are collectively praying?
2) People aren't praying hard enough?
3) People aren't genuine in their praying?
4) God does what he wants regardless of any prayers?
5) God simply does not exist?
