"For weeks they prayed for rain." Then it rained. Thank god.
If parents practice faith-healing and their child dies, does that mean their faith is imperfect, their entreaties are undeserving, or their god is otherwise preoccupied?
Wouldn't a true believer stop praying once god had ignored or rejected his petition?
We seek comfort and consolation from prayer, like a perseverating laboratory rat continuing to press the lever long after all the food pellets have been consumed.
Obdurate acolytes will be praying on Doomsday.
