 Prayer is the Quasimodo of theism, the ugly creature who should be hidden from sight, but rears his head regularly, thereby creating consternation and frustration. No single act of the theist is more irrational; no act has less evidence for effectiveness; no act is clung to quite so tenaciously in light of its complete foolishness. This is in large part due to its cathartic effect on the practitioners.
