What if prayer doesn't work? What if all religion has to offer fails? When a person dies from a disease, God didn't like that person? Did they pray to the wrong God? Perhaps in the wrong church? Perhaps they didn't give enough money for the pastor's new car.....I mean the church's new roof. Rubbish. Doctors heal. Medicine heals. When those fail, you die. God does not heal some and allow others to die. We all die eventually, there is nothing supernatural about who lives and who dies. Education, logic and rationalism are the best things in times of sickness, trouble and chaos. They may not be as comforting as prayer but they do not deceive nor do they fabricate illusions of control in a world where we have so little control over our moment of existence. If anything the religion controls you. Do you think that you would be a Christian if it were not the religion you grew up among, the same religion forced upon your ancestors who were kept by Christians as slaves? If left, unmolested, in Africa would your people bow to a savior who is a long-haired White man? You try to fight against the lies the White Establishment fabricates against you (real or imagined) yet you accept the one White Lie that keeps you bound to them forever. What if nothing happens?
