And you sound like a child. When you did bad as a child you got punished, its only a child who feels they can get away with bad and shouldn't be dealt repercussions.

If there were no repercussions you wouldn't think to ever do good, you continue being a heathen.

God punishes correctly at all times. There is a story in Ancient Egypt called "destruction of humankind" where humans could lived as hundreds of years, etc and has power similar to Ra, and because of that people started to looked down on Ra and didn't care to look up to him, and cause of that Ra had to punish them

Now look at which African countries are suffering more than others and you'll figure out your answers.
I don't even know where to begin.

Yes, I was punished as a child...for bad things that I did as a child.

I wasn't punished for shyt that my great-grand parents did. Lol. What type of God punishes a group of people, for centuries, for something that they didn't do. How is that just?

Anyway...specifically, what did people of Africa do to deserve enslavement?

What do you mean you don't agree? There is no separation between 'spirit' and everything else. If you believe in god, then 'it' is everything, everywhere, all the time. You are in constantly communication with whatever you think 'god' is. Every thought you think is a prayer.

If you're going to sit down and focus your thought/intention...leave the things that you DON'T want out of the equation.

Prayer is basically any thought towards God, be it good or bad, but the more the mind becomes fixed on God, the more one becomes enlightened

When in your question, you alluded to this.

If I'm wrong, then what do you think is the point of prayer?
I honestly don't know I threw religion in the bushes. 10 + years ago. I never said anything about it being the only reason I'm simply asking why it's necessary for that particular purpose.

It's not "necessary for that particular purpose".

If you're black, the only way out is with the Creator. He brought you out of bondage once, and He'll do it again but ONLY if you turn to Him. You dont have to pray for bad things to not happen if you simply obey His word and guidance. But most of yall take the way of cacs and dont believe in anything spiritual. Which is why the black community (if we can even call it a community) is in the dismal estate its in. Because they agreed to obey but didnt. So now they're at the bottom of society and thats where they'll remain till they figure out what I just said

Time is an illusion. The past, present and future is happening right and now and what you did in your past life you must face in the next. So God might have you born in one of those African countries where you suffer for your past misdeeds.

Ever heard you get lonely at the top ? Certain Africans got too big for their britches, and this is God showing you I can bring you back down. Also, there was turmoil between African countries especially Egypt and Nubia, you don't think it wasn't African countries that wasn't jealous of Egypt? Why you think they put Egyptians on the ship first? Why you think Ancient Egypt is so prominent in America more than any other country in Africa Read your history

God will use something bad to teach you something good ? God had us brought over while be sets his fire to Africa. Why you think white man loves Egypt so much and keeps us close ? All the answers are in your face and you can't see it.

So how does that work for a baby who dies of cancer?

That doesn't seem to be the case based on my observation but maybe people just aren't using it right lol.

Yeah...it's not called "Peopleanity" - it's "Christianity".
So in order to see it used the way it's supposed, you gotta "observe" how Christ used it...

I don't believe in God personally.

Then why discuss/seek to understand the mechanism of prayer? You just being condescending? I mean if so that's cool, but I'll stop trying to give you a legitimate answer. People who actually believe in 'god' in the way you're talking about it SHOULD also subscribe to the idea it's not their job to plead for things to not happen, but to have faith in the fact that they're happening ultimately for a valid reason.

Either way, natural law works with or without your belief. Whether you're 'praying' to god, engaging with the 'spritual elements', setting goals or just thinking in any kinda focused manner, focusing on undesirable things will yeild more undesirable things.

I'm allowed to seek understanding and I don't have to be condescending to do so. I also see you ignored my other question.
