Why don't people just stop praying and just start making logical and informed choices?

Sounds very O.T, and we all know how Jesus and the O.t don't like each other. Or was that Christians and the O.T...These rules keep changing don't they.

How about all those football games where the players get on one knee and beg God to help them beat the **** out of the other team? Or when in battle, pray God, who is on their side, the right side, help them kill as many of their enemy as they can? Is all prayer equal in God's "eyes?"

What, can't do both?
I don't understand why some people think prayer and reasoned action are mutually exclusive. They are actually highly complementary.

If Christians acted half as much as they prayed, our societies would be 10 times better than they are in various areas.
The reality is that most Christians think tweeting out "I'm praying" is doing something, when it's really not. Donate time or money, that would be a real help to those who need it.
Prayers don't fill a starving child's belly or inoculate them against Malaria, money does. Of course all those tax-exempt churches and the gold encrusted Vatican sitting on billions upon billions of $'s know this all too well.

TextI am aware of the different denominations of Christianity and what they believe. However I was watching One Touch Ministry and Stanley told his following, to pray to God for misery upon someone, just to make them believe. Question: is Stanley wrong and should've reworded that prayer?
