Quote of the day:
"Where all men think alike, no one thinks very much." Walter Lippmann
Thought of the day:
My lack of religous belief aside, I honestly don't get the idea of prayer. First off why would we have to try to tell an all knowing being anything? If you're sorry for your sins or just wanting some help, guidance, or whatever, it should be known to the all knowing even before it is known to you. As for asking for something, isn't a bit arrogant to try to tell such a being what to do? Like if there is a god and we asked for it to save someone's life, shouldn't it have already have made the disision? I can't see some super being changing it's mind because a few moratals kept praying over it. Even if it did, what does that say about it?
