Actually it does make me wonder if praying works as evangelicals will testify it does, why do people get cured of bad backs,cancer and other ailments and yet no amputee has ever had a limb grow back after praying for it........whats that all about?
I would probably say its not praying, you are just paying respect with quiet reflection to loved ones in a situation/place you fondly remember them with, just happens to be in a church I like millions will be at a place on nov 11th with the same quiet reflection, dont think anyone would say that...
