Praying won't solve your issues?
I, personally, am NOT a praying type. However, I also believe that "it takes all kinds to make a world". I think praying works for SOME people. I also assume that, on average, people who pray are less likely to be criminals and violent evildoers. They won't be perfect people, but, at least, they are trying to do the right things. And they may be very happy people for the acts of praying.
.......I tend to prefer individual people praying as opposed to the organized church-going type of group prayers. I have seen too much worldwide negativity that occurs when one religion dislikes another religion. Like ethnic groups, religions often separate more than unify humanity. Many people get a lot of personal satisfaction, humanity, and wisdom from organized religion. Possibly, overall, it is a good thing. Myself, I just see a lot of negatives. So many things divide people and organized religion has a history and the power to do just that.
........I guess that it gets back to being a good thing that people are individuals and have differences.
