    I never did understand why one should have to pray for God's kingdom to come.

    I mean, isn't it going to come whether you pray for it or not? What is the point in asking God to bring something that he is going to bring anyway whether you want him to or not?

    Well, if you continue to pray for God's Kingdom to come, you will be there, if not, you will not be there.

    To me, prayer is a complete waste of time. You are supposed to pray for Jehovah's name to be sancitfied, Jehovah's Tyranny to come, and Jehovah's will to take place. Those things are going to happen anyways, because the Almighty Lowlife Scumbag wants them. He is going to do it whether we like it or not--and praying for them will do nothing. Besides, I do not want any of those things to ever happen.

    On the other hand, we are also supposed to pray for our bare necessities to be provided, forgiveness for sins, and to not fall into temptation. Among these things, we are supposed to work for them. Which should in themselves produce the results (if Jehovah Baghead doesn't fxxx things up), whether or not we pray for them. And, He isn't going to do anything He doesn't absolutely have to for us, since He does not give a fxxx. Occasionally, He might do something if absolutely necessary to showcase for future generations. Of course, praying will not affect the outcome.

    I would rather skip giving Jehovah any credit for anything. I do not need His guidance. I do not need His creating barriers against fulfillment of my wants and needs. In fact, I haven't noticed any difference in fulfillment rates on personal needs since I quit wasting my time praying to Jehovah.
