For years, I have said a secular prayer: "I hope everyone does the right thing."

This is an intention, NOT a prayer, meant to elicit a natural response, NOT a supernatural one.

Almost always, if everybody does the right thing, it's all we can ask, and it's enough.  

If intention can produce change, we (in effect) answer our own prayers.

Awe, gratitude, responsibility, and reverence can exist with or without the supernatural.

As long as evil exists and God remains hidden, it is our charge to do the right thing, anyway.

The evidence is NOT conclusive. Do you believe that intention or prayer can produce change?

Do You Still Pray?
