Thoughts vs. Prayers

Thoughts are OK. Long as
not acted-on - harmless!

Prayers are thoughts so 
MIGHTY people need 
help carrying them out. 
Help, by the way, from
a being who - far as a lot
of us can tell - might just
as well be imaginary. 

Which if so - harmless, 
too!

If not though, the sheer
harm involved could be
beyond imagining. This, 

when you think about it,
is why many people are 
like "Keep your prayers! 
Too dangerous! We don't 
know how powerful! NO 
powerful probably, but it's 
WRONG to toy with forces 
you can't understand! YOU 
PLAY GOD" 

It's a fair point, often lost 
in the shuffle. Prayers, 
prayed wrong then granted 
by a who-knows how existent 
or powerful God, could be 
catastrophic prayers. The 
so-called power of prayer 

is beyond our control! Or 
no problemo, depending. 
Play it safe, maybe. Or if 
you do, please pray safe. 

Pray for safe things, then 
everybody's pretty much
covered
