What happens when we overestimate its power? How can we make sure we are making the correct estimate of its power?

Believe is to achieve!! If there is a will there is a way!!
Combine power in prayer and absolute belief in faith and that faith will move mountains. It's gotta be for a good cause though and be on the same page with the man upstairs..
I'm a firm believer in this..Points Awarded:

You'd think with you people praying for the victims of shootings---your god would knock that shit off.
I guess she hates you. Or praying is for meatballs.

The physicists (at least many of them) believe the universe popped into existence out of nothing. At least out of quantum foam; or the quantum field.
They would dismiss prayer by saying "praying to whom?"
As we see from the recent mass shootings; if there's an intelligent designer (lotta evidence for that) he surely doesn't appear benevolent.

Even if there is no God or afterlife.....
Praying and self reflection can enable you to be a better person on earth. Isn’t that what it’s all about? Being content in your skin is much better than wanting to kill and letting monetary goals destroy your existence

The catholics and protestants in Northern Ireland who killed people in the name of Jesus prayed a lot---- didn't make them better. Originally Posted by Shute

Praying to a good and forgiving God while self reflection can only be a positive

Atheists disbelieve in a creator.
Believers believe in an intelligent designer. (or God) They (IMHO) have some very good arguments.
Agnostics simply don't know. Possibly the safest bet. Like passing on a game you don't have a feel for.
Pascal made some sense: If you believe, and it turns out to be true, your all set for eternity.
If you disbelieve, and it turns out your wrong, your screwed.
According to him, if you believe, you can only win or push.

Help others. Respect them. I don't need to reflect on that. It's common sense.
If you want to be a good person-- it is just a simple decision. You can "reflect" all you want, but if you are a selfish, narcissistic asshat--- you are still going to be a selfish, narcissistic asshole after 10 minutes of reflection.Nomination(s):This post was nominated 1 time .

You are trying to find a beginning-- and it is hard to understand, so you simply say, "There HAS to be a God who started it all, because I can't comprehend how it started unless the man in the clouds made it so". Originally Posted by Sam Odom

With that being said. Prayer is just another spiritual flowchart of silliness.
Pray for something.
If you get it, it's God's will rewarding you
If you don't, God works in mysterious ways and has other plans.
A surgeon once told me (after having lost his wife and daughter both to cancer in the span of 2 years)
"If someone has a 5% chance of surviving a year, they're going to pray. Even if they're an atheist, they'll probably pray. So if this person lives, there's a good chance they'll give credit to prayer. Even though the other 95% of people who died, also prayed. When someone gets a prayer answered, it's easier to thank God than it is to give thanks for happening to be in a small statistical probability group.."
Billions of people every day pray for clean water or that their kids won't starve or get malaria (or that they can just stay safe against marauding savages like Boko Haram). They must just be saying the wrong prayer.Last edited by Nitrogen; 08-05-19 at 06:05 PM.

Yes... have read "Brief History of Time" - which is outdated
Have read more updated theories and hypotheses
AQ , your faith is in mortal men's ideas -- Believers have faith also which is an gift
See... we both have faith
