Save your money folks. Instead of sending your hard earned cash to those savvy tele-evangelists, faith healers or waste your time and delude yourselves further with "false hope" (the idea of "hope" itself might be a delusion... but that's another topic for another time), you might want to re-think those (silly) beliefs of yours and consider the possibility that intercessory prayer does not work.
The fact is prayer — in any of its forms, for any "objective" (please al-la, joe-va, boo-da, ophah... kill those fucken infidels) is absolutely ineffective with respect to the desired outcome and therefore a total waste of time, and if you are giving 'til it hurts and it's too late to do anything about it, well then rest assured many of us vulgar infidels will be entertained.
Here are links to an article, and a sample of peer reviewed opinion that intercessory prayer does not work.
