Mindfulness is its own reward and prayer, even to a rock, can help. It’s about surrendering and accepting that there is something in the universe that you have no power over.
It’s not about believing the rock is alive or capable or changing things for you, but by simply reframing your desires as a universal one rather than an internal/personal one you can find yourself motivated in a different way and opportunities may present themselves differently.
I’m also talking about the traditional concept of prayer, not whatever the fuck the Christian’s are doing.

A lot of Christian’s see how they prey very similarly to what you just described my man.

If you actually practice Christianity, and really the majority of popular religions, in the way they are intended, they all sort of circle back to a lot of these same concepts. It’s when you start attaching material specifics to these intentionally abstract concepts and governing others based on those specifics that things get messy. A true follower of their religion is often not vocal about it.

And? There’s more inportant shit to worry about than people being silly

I’m not worried about it. I just think it’s silly just like people who think the earth is flat are silly. Ultimately I don’t care and I’m not going to tell anybody not to practice witchcraft.
