    • not to heaven no. but write down for yourself what do you want to do to change what's gone wrong with your life and think happy because you're as happy as you want to be and understand its a choice rather than an emotion someone or something material invokes in you. my personal belief is that while religion does provide one with a mutally caring community and keeps hopes up, its a load of tosh.

    • As the saying goes you can choose your friends but not your family, how many are born in a happy supportive family environment

      anyway we pray to comfort ourselves, praying will not confirm you to get what you prayed for.. you have to do somethin too. make changes

    • Here is some circular logic.

      God helps those who help themselves.

      Do something more than just pray about your problems.

    • God never help u, ok, all things in this world are managed by ourself. GOd is there watching only. God will sigh if you decide to suicide. God will laugh if you're funny. Simple as that.

       

      God will see if you help yourself. Then only He show u the way, not He helps u. and the way only u can choose either u want it or not.

    • I think it helps bring solace to certain people when their spirits are down.

      Ya, then they end up filling their life with spirit drown down their throat, over the counter nite after nite just to stay alive.

    • of course yes. u see, sometimes prayer doesnt work its because if everytime we pray and god grant us that wish, life would be too simple and there wont be any problems, except for th fact that there will be chaos and all. just go watch bruce almighty and u will understand.
