i've said it before -- the appropriate time for these prayers
is BEFORE you make your decision. i can't imagine God up there
mystically rearranging the deck on the fly as he listens to
their prayers, calculating sincerity, intentions, etc...

Yeah, here's God:

"Oh! Did you hear her prayer, Michael?! Let's make that next
card the queen of spades, giving him an inside straight draw!"

* poof * queen of spades

"Oh! Look! But Jerry is still holding fast in sincerity and
faith! How charming! No inside straight for you, Lee! My
boy is Jerry!"

what kind of universe would we be living in...

thanks for highlighting some of the more obvious theological problems with Yangs 'prayers'.

However, do be aware that "The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the LORD" (Prov 16:33). Something to think about next time you get a bad beat.
