I pray for a world where someone like Dirty Harry
is on every street corner to sort out punks & terrorists:

I believe you're stupid or naive enough to actually want that. Cheesy

Why is it stupid or naive to want some justice & protection?

Only God can provide true justice and protection, Bobby.

As one of His prophets once said: do we tie up our camels or pray to Allah?

I believe the answer is both.

Karnal,
Justice comes out of the barrel of a 0.44 magnum -
the most powerful handgun in the world -
enough to blow your head clean off.

Justice, Bobby, comes from truth. The truth shall set you free.

Dirty Harry is a story of spiritual redemption. Remember, in the final scene, he throws away his police badge.

Yes - it was great classic movie.

Not necessarily. People genuinely pray for other people in difficult situations when there is nothing else they can do. If you have children - you would know that parents do a lot of praying for their kids knowing they have no control over some aspects of their life.

Thanks Herbert, but you mightn't say that if you saw me in a bad mood.

That's positive. When life gets really difficult at times - no matter how insincere you might feel, praying can help you get through it. To those who are cynical about the power of prayer, there is a logic to it also that has nothing to do with religion. A problem shared (even with an imaginary being) is a problem halved.
