Nothing fails like prayer, or so it would seem. Before we delve into this topic, let's clarify the terrain. What is meant by the question; does prayer work? The question is too vague to be translated as; is prayer effective? Why? Well, prayer might be effective in all sorts of ways that this video essay isn't interested in addressing. For example, prayer may help with anxiety. It may help with mindfulness. It may confer a sense of purpose or hope etc. But none of these things get to the core of the topic. The central question is, does prayer really change things in the world external to your psychology? Nobody disputes the potential psychological utility of such practices. What people want to know is things like; can prayer heal the sick? And if so, people want to know why prayers don't get answered. To answer these questions it's necessary to ask; is there evidence for prayer? Better still; is there good evidence for prayer? Not surprisingly, Magic Skeptic reveals that this isn't the case. In short, this video essay explores the case against prayer, otherwise known as the truth about prayer. But what do you think? Do some prayers work? Do some prayers get answered? And if so, why do prayers go unanswered? And what's the point of prayer if it doesn't affect a material change external to one's psychology? Let's explore all of these questions so we can understand the failure of prayer and ultimately, why prayers are not answered.
