I thought this was a well written article about how religion often relies on the habitual.

I especially liked this statement: "I would rather live with unanswered questions than unquestioned answers".

God gave here many prayers, but only answers a handful all the time ...... Then after a long time I may have lost the heat of a prayer, so God changed the prayer for more power and then the old prayer plus the new prayer had more power than the regular old prayer .... So the people who fell away from God in the article, they need to ask God for a prayer that He will answer, so God will have a new visitation in their lives

That sounds like something the host from Jeopardy would say.

Let me rephrase that; What are things a Jeopardy host would say ?

What is the habit of saying thank you?

And what is, that is my habit too?

Are you looking for positive habits or negative habits ?

When I drive by a hospital or see or hear emergency vehicles, my heart goes out to them.

Should I stop doing that?
