3. Seems a bit frivolous to me,..

That someone would make a connect or otherwise disturb the Lord with payers to win a game show ?

There seem far more altruistic things to pray to or about.

Like cavorting with the Lord about making your lottery ticket the winner out of the millions of lottery tickets sold to millions of other people.

The frivolity of it all certainly must be taking the power of prayer,.. and the Lord's powers to act on those types of prayers as an act of selfishness and taking the name and the powers of the Almighty in vain.

That to me is scary that religion is used for such mundane and selfish purposes.

There must be a higher calling when it comes to dialing up the Lord God Almighty.
It seems a tad more like a nuisance call reeking of the absence of selflessness.

We are all wired a bit differently,.. see things from a different point of view,.. and entertain differing perspective. I hope mine are not found offensive. Because being so was not my intent.

But you did ask me....
