I just wish a guy like dank would permanently make predictions on Stock- or Coin markets - given the fact that he is 100.00% wrong almost 100.00% of the time... he would literally be the perfect contra-indicator (and actually provide something useful for the community for a change Wink ).
Hahaha be nice to the guy though, I bet he's trying his best!

Praying does work.

Quite the opposite.

Especially for someone without a soul, like you dank.

Dank Soul Guarantee - Danksurance
The Dank Soul Gurantee is my karma based system of insurance.  I acknowledge and respect that karma would play a negative role on me if I were to steal anybodies deposit, thus, offering an incentive to not perform such an action.  Dank Bank, as with many other investment opportunities, is largely trust based. I hereby give my word and my soul that I will perform as an honest trader, no exceptions.

(mod edit: dank has refused to repay, and thus forfeited his collateral - his soul)

no

1.praying doesn't work
2. even if it does, God is supposed to love us not destroy us with an asteroid Cheesy

And we are supposed to love god.  We are supposed to love earth.  It has long been prophesied that earth would destroy us as we had destroyed her, we can change that fate by loving earth and seeking forgiveness.  She is our home after all.

You go into someone's home and tear shit up, you're going to get kicked out.  Earth is the same.

Praying does work.

What will happen if an asteroid having 50m diameter, and entirely made up of gold hits the earth? The nation where it lands will be the richest country in the world. Everyone will automatically become millionaires.

Good luck hope you will see the gold.

Objects with a diameter of roughly 50 m (164 ft) strike Earth approximately once every thousand years, producing explosions comparable to the one known to have detonated roughly 8.5 kilometers (28,000 ft) above Tunguska in 1908. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunguska_event
But what if we catch it in a giant net? We'll just have to make sure it doesn't bounce back to space...

Not really, government will took it. Nobody will ever saw this again. Nobody gets nothing from it, aside from top officials. This is the way it is.
No, it's not, the reasoning is as broken as your english. Remember that that much gold would make the value of gold decrease, just like printing more money takes away it's value (inflation). What corrupt country do you live in where "top officials" would get away with taking a 50m diameter lump of gold? Gee wiz.

So are we praying to the rock to spare us or to something else hoping for some divine intervention?
I think the discussion is: If an asteroid is set to hit earth with 100% certainty, can we, if we as a human race pray hard enough, stop it from happening?

In all recorded history, no one has been able to move even a single grain of sand with just their thoughts.  Prayer is just thinking to yourself.

I get that but I guess I get confused when people say pray I tend to think of the prayers being directed somewhere but I guess I'm just over thinking it.  So yea my answer is going to be, no sadly we will meet our demise.

Praying might well work. You activate your brain activity focusing on one problem, and you might find the solutions to that problem by doing so, by yourself. And that's often what people confuse with being answered by God.

However it can't physically change anything, move an object, or stop an asteroid from hitting us.

Also, if praying doesn't work, why would you refer to God as the one destroying us with an asteroid?

sorry, I misread the thread

People often find the answers to their prayers in their own mind, and somehow think that it's the outer voice of God, as it happens simultaneously. Stupid people, that is.

no we cant avoid it If god decides to throw many at us.  If you guys read the revleation it says he will cast stones up us, Im sure is not just one big asteroid.

Pff...

I'm so glad it's not a stellar event then if an Asteroid is headed towards us.
It's that ficticious uber-father figure gullible/uneducated people call "god".

But the book "revelation" is pretty much in line with other science fiction "OMG the end is near! Sinners repent!" stories - they're just science fiction.

So let me add Reveleation : 27
"And so the doometh man looketh up to the sky and launcheth their most devastating fiery fire towards it. And it burneth. And man looked at what he had done, for it had destroyeth god's powers. And man decided it was good. Man at last had himself set free from the playful and destructive powers of god."
Everybody lived happily thereafter.

Yes, most of the population would die praying like they always do...
The atheists would survive, because they took actual action instead of blindly hoping for some nonexistent uberfather-figure to save them.
Realistically, it would be up to the atheists (as usual) to save the people around them who do nothing useful.

According to the article, "its closest approach to Earth will be at about 217,000 miles", so there is virtually no chance of it hitting us.

If the entire planet's reaction to a high impact hazard scale asteroid was.... praying - then that thing better hit us square & fair and end that misery.
Such a dumb civilization wouldn't deserve any better.

http://www.worldpeacegroup.org/lebanon_peace_project_research.html

Praying, or meditating, spreads throughout the world.  Meditating definitely gives you control over your reality while the instinctive behavior of fear or panic would not.

You hear about the city of people who prayed while bombs were dropping all around and wasn't struck by them?

Right.

Which city was that and in what war?

Since it fits in so nice, that's what George Carlin had to say about religion :

Quote
But people do pray, and they pray for a lot of different things, you know [...] And I say, fine. Pray for anything you want. Pray for anything, but what about the Divine Plan?
 
Remember that? The Divine Plan.
Long time ago, God made a Divine Plan. Gave it a lot of thought, decided it was a good plan, put it into practice.
And for billions and billions of years, the Divine Plan has been doing just fine. Now, you come along, and pray for something.

Well suppose the thing you want isn't in God's Divine Plan? What do you want Him to do? Change His plan? Just for you? Doesn't it seem a little arrogant?
It's a Divine Plan. What's the use of being God if every run-down shmuck with a two-dollar prayerbook can come along and f*ck up Your Plan?
 
And here's something else, another problem you might have: Suppose your prayers aren't answered. What do you say? "Well, it's God's will." "Thy Will Be Done."
Fine, but if it's God's will, and He's going to do what He wants to anyway, why the f*ck bother praying in the first place? Seems like a big waste of time to me!
Couldn't you just skip the praying part and go right to His Will?
It's all very confusing.
