Prayers answered? Good Luck? Mind over matter?

^^^ we are aware of that.. The real question is what does it mean to you, not what some guy who pronounces "milk" "melk". If you have a more personalized opinion I would like to hear the fail vs. success ratio. I think there is a bit more to this than a freaking jug of milk. Don't forget the mind over matter part.

here's my take on prayer...

one fine Tuesday night in November of 1999 my right eye got really itchy and sore. by Thursday it was the most painful thing i had ever felt. i honestly thought my eye was going to explode overnight on Wednesday. i was in a quarantined hospital room by dinner time on Thursday.

once the results came back (Pseudomonas) the specialist informed me that it normally took about 3 weeks to heal to the point of being allowed to return home. fine, whatever.

so my friend who had helped me get around and get checked that fine Thursday happened to be from a religious family, so when he told them about what happened they choose to say prayers for me during their next few masses and gatherings.

i was out of the hospital in 11 days.

maybe i just heal quick, maybe the hospital really needed my bed, or maybe having a bunch of people i don't even know exist hoping and praying that a friend of one of their own gets through a rough spot actually helped me get through a rough spot. either way, the doctor was impressed and quite pleased at my recovery.

i think its ****ing ignorant to assume that a jug of milk can't deliver. I think this thread is fairly offensive to our Lactotariate members.

With that said the floor is open.

Maybe that is true sometimes, maybe there are things that happen they way they are supposed to happen and the outcome wouldn't change. But that being said the prayers might not change the outcome, but it can change the person who is praying.

I find it funny, since without a god to answer our prayers the jug of milk actually does in fact do "more" than prayer.

Milk:

Answers prayers
Does a body good (except mine)
Provides sexual innuendo via milk mustache
Cats like it
Is white

God:

Answers prayers
Cat's don't care about him and are all going to hell
Is black

You decide.

The feeling is mutual, cats aren't mentioned in the Bible.

I'm pretty sure god was just joking about the flood, and took great humor watching Noah toil away at building a giant boat for nothing, but when he smuggled kittens aboard (for a purpose other than being snacks for the dobermans), god got pissed and flooded everything to shit for reals.
