I don't pray to anyone or anything. I take responsibility for my own actions.
If prayer actually worked there would be no kids dying of cancer or poverty.

If God has a divine plan then prayer isn't going to change that.

Perhaps the most absurd sight is when sports people make a prayer before a game. Is God really going to intervene in a sports game yet leave kids to die of cancer, die in wars and die in poverty?

Prayer is nothing but an ancient superstition

Atheists should stick to what they know.

He's got a point, God has had a divine plan since the beginning of time. Is he going to change his plan because Grendel prayed really super hard?

If you truly understand Jesus and what he taught. then you will realise the difference of what Jesus taught and what the Churches taught afterwards. Listen to Jesus. Not just what the religion teaches you. Jesus forgave everyone Sir Bobby. Even homosexuals. He thought they were worthy to be forgiven and he died for their sins too because they were worthy to him.

I don't recall Jesus ever mentioning homosexuals.
certainly they are hardly mentioned at all in the new Testament, certainly not directly if I recall correctly.

Same I don't recall Jesus saying anything about homosexuals, especially that he would save them from their sinful life.

If you truly understood Jesus and his teachings then you would understand that he would forgive and accept Homosexuals and would die for their sins. That was what made Jesus the Son of God and an example to us all. He could do, what many could not.
