Guest Opinion: Divine intercession doesn't stand a prayer

Excerpt:

"In 1988, President Reagan signed a bill into law that made the first Thursday of May a National Day of Prayer. Our government continues to ask its citizens to petition for divine intercession on behalf of America.

Humanist groups, such as the Center for Inquiry Community of Southern Arizona, take issue with this federally sponsored event that endorses and encourages intercessory prayer."

Okay, so what's the harm in praying? In the unlikely event that there is a God, and the (IMO) even more unlikely event that He gives a [censored] about our prayers, it might help. Otherwise, what's it going to hurt?

[Phil153]

I hate it when atheists do this stuff.

CORed: Replace God with Xenu, or "alien watcher spaceships", and try it again.
