I'd be willing to bet the words "Oh my God" have crossed the lips of many people faced with uncertainty, disaster, heartbreak or violence whether they're believers or not. ;-)

As a friend candidly pointed out: "Who's he talking to during sex, then?"

:funn:

So, when someone prays for the people of Haiti, and they live here, do they have a self interest? When people ask me to pray for someone who I never met, do I have a self interest. It's not like someone gets karma stars above their heads as proof positive of the results of their prayers.

Of course it is [self-interest] if you really care about the outcome. How could it not be? It's the same when I donated money to the people of Haiti, which by the way, I think is much more effective than prayer. I personally wanted to see the lives of the people improve. I cared. If you care about something or someone, that's the very definition of self-interest.

I find it interesting that the Atheist posts so much with regard to religion or religious beliefs and traditions. :D

In my case I like to get a better understanding of what makes people think the way they do and work in some of my own ideas. It's really no different than a political discussion. Why do liberals post to teabagger threads and vice-versa? People like to banter I guess.:dunno:

Throughout my life, my prayers have all been answered. Two are lingering right now. But, I know they will be answered. I have faith.
