Homer: Not a bear in sight. The Bear Patrol must be working like a charm.
Lisa: That's specious reasoning, Dad.
Homer: Thank you, dear.
Lisa: By your logic I could claim that this rock keeps tigers away.
Homer: Oh, how does it work?
Lisa: It doesn't work.
Homer: Uh-huh.
Lisa: It's just a stupid rock.
Homer: Uh-huh.
Lisa: But I don't see any tigers around, do you?
[Homer thinks of this, then pulls out some money]
Homer: Lisa, I want to buy your rock.
[Lisa refuses at first, then takes the exchange]
Which is more effective, prayer or tiger-repellent rocks?

For true believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, Prayer...
I have answered prayers everyday! I didn't however, until I accepted God and learned how to pray.
PS Prayer and wishing are not the same thing.

I've been praying since I was a little girl. I'm 50 something years old.
He has been answering my prayers for my whole life.....Sometimes He does not answer the way I want Him to, but it all turns out for the best.
YES. Praying is more effective, IMO.
You do what you like. Just let me do what I like and respect it.

Neither prayer nor the rock has an effect on events.

Prayer, but prayers of petition are but one kind of prayer out of 4: reparation, thanksgiving and adoration.
Let's not all by whiny beggars - I know I'd get tired of it people only talking to me because they wanted something.

I'm going with prayers. Rocks are heavy and in the end just lets you down hard....
