I’ve had an ambivalent relationship with prayer throughout most of my blog. I know “the World is not a wish granting factory, as John Green indicates in The Fault in Our Stars. Still, even atheists will resort to prayer at times when they’re feeling desperate. And while I know that God probably doesn’t care about any particular sports team or player winning, I can’t help but pray for some kind of outcome, even if it isn’t directly about winning.
