If prayer changed anything, the government would stop you doing it. Or ban it.

Or at least tax it heavily.

Or only Xians would be allowed to do it.

Or you'd have to pass an in-depth background check.

Or...

Competing prayer leagues would be organized. It is a concept that could make for an interesting fantasy world series.

When they were criticized for no female characters they said "your right" and balanced it out. The gameplay was all right, I only played the demo back in the day but if you take it out of context the stary is better than a lot of games. Certainly better than any call of duty clone.

Not all religious themes are bad story lines, I loved Christopher Walken in The Prophecy and Viggo Mortensen was freakin AWESOME as Satan!

Who would win elections, since both sides are praying for a win?

What team would win any sports games, since they would both be praying?

Would we have world peace, since it would be assumed that everyone would be praying for peace?

Dear Mister Miller

It has come to our attention that you do not engage in documented regular prayers for positive outcomes. We must therefore conclude that the break-in at your house was a result of negligence on your part and falls outside the warranties of your insurance at Colosso Insurance Inc.

with best regards,
