[QUOTE="Soyeong, post: 71906681, member: 375022"] Prayer is about far more than just asking for things, but rather it is about communicating with God and growing in a personal relationship with Him, and it certainly is not about treating God as if he were an impersonal vending machine that will give the right output every time we enter in the right input. It would be like a child treating their parents like the only purpose they had was to buy them toys and doing tests to see which manner of begging for a toy would consistently lead to which results. If you want to dismiss all miracle claims, then be aware that you are dismissing hundreds of millions of miracle claims without even looking at them, some of which are medically documented. [/QUOTE]
