WHY PRAYER OFFENDS AGAINST HUMANKIND

Prayer is wrong because it implies there is a force that can stop suffering but which is right to let it happen which is a direct assault on human dignity. It implies that if we invent a pill that makes everybody free from sickness and ageing and death and from evil intentions that we shouldn’t avail of it which clarifies that prayer and spirituality put doctrine and allegedly supernatural forces before us. Some object that if life were perfect it would be boring. But that is because nature reduces the pleasure we take in something if we have too much of it. But what if our human nature could be altered to maintain the pleasure? Life would then be anything but boring.
 
Prayer contradicts the fact that faith should never come before people - ever.
 
Belief in magic spells or prayers that are intended to get answers from Heaven is foolishness because all you need to do to be happy is do what this book tells you. Magic seeks after things like sex and money and does not work when it cannot give its practitioners what is better, the philosophy in this book. It does not give them an unusual rationality. Occultists say magic has to be in accord with your deepest desires and therefore the most important ones to work, for desire is an ingredient. The fact that knowledge not magic is needed shows that magic cannot work if this rule is true. There is no wisdom in wasting magical power for it would be handy in an absolute emergency so this abuse would be black magic. Magic and prayer would be pacts with the Devil if there were one for the true evil being is the one who schemes to destroy wisdom.
 
Spells and prayers are evil for what you get is the product of a domino effect. I mean you would not have won that car last night had not the woman next door survived her suicide attempt for every event changes everything else. They are fanaticism for they try to get you some benefit at the expense of other people which is terrible for you need absolute proof that a good power is answering your prayers and you cannot have this proof. Appearances deceive which is where the benefits come from. The are not benefits then are gained at a terrible price: the approval of fanaticism.
