Martin I don't think i could have explained that any better.

Prayer is such a natural thing to a person of faith and I have real problems trying to understand what people do if they don't pray.

That is not a judgement it is a real question. I try to think what happens if something is wrong with say a person that they love and they want it to get better for them or say just now the people of Burma or the children buried in the School in China. How else can a person direct even their good thoughts to others.

What do they say in the private thoughts that every other person must have when they want to improve something.

I truly give respect to every-one's personal belief I don't believe any person has the right to try force a belief on any other person. I don't believe that it does any good anyway. If someone is ready to find God they will. My personal belief is God will find them. He found me but I bet he regrets it his poor ears must be sore.
