What's in Your Prayer?

The Sunday newspaper supplement "Parade" just published the results of their exclusive poll on spirituality. Here are some of their findings:

• Only 5% of respondents didn't believe in God
• 7% weren't sure about the existence of God
• 12% didn't believe in afterlife
• 62% expected that when they die, they will join the loved ones who have passed away before them
• 51% of respondents said they pray daily, of those 21% prayed for money and other material things.

A simple math calculation which I am not sure those 51% or 21% of the respondents are capable of will let us see that 10% (or 1 in 10) Americans are on their knees nightly praying to God for ... money!!! The article was named "How Spiritual Are We?" Really! How spiritual we are! I hope God grants them their wishes of financial gain very soon so that they could turn their gaze to loftier goals.
