Prayer = The idea that Gods ego is so big that it needs stroking regularly.
Prayer = The idea that admitting your sin and asking for forgiveness absolves you.
Prayer = The idea of being able to talk to someone who never talks back.
Prayer = a whole lot easier than actually dealing with your problems.
