Praying is wishing, It has the same effect. Sometimes it works, sometimes it don’t. It gives us comfort, because our brains are wired like that, if we can’t get what we want, maybe some authority can give it to us by asking nicely. Expressing it soothes us. It’s like screaming HELP! when you fell down a well. It’s not aimed at anyone in particular, it’s just a cry for anyone or anything to help you, because you’re desperate.

Shit, cats do that. Do they also pray to god?

Yes, and even God can’t understand what is it that they want this time.

    Hilarious to consider a deity who’s existence resolves upon observation in an afterlife that also resolves upon death.

It doesn’t ever work. It just occasionally coincides with reality.

  In some cases it does work. Believe can cause wonder healings. Not because of supernatural but because of subconscious.

    Is there evidence that that’s actually what happens and not just e.g. spontaneous remission? But even if it’s true, if a drug works as well as placebo then we usually conclude that it doesn’t work.
    
    Also, people who know that someone else is praying for them actually have worse outcomes according to one of the most comprehensive studies ever done on this.

  And when you’re in a life and death situation, those odds are good enough.

Why would cats pray to themselves?

It’s not aimed at anyone in particular,

But a prayer is directly aimed at one thing. I understand that there are literally hundreds of Gods, but each individual would typically only target one.
