Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a response to Dale re: prayer and free will

(10/20/2016 - I've had a lot of Christians follow recently and like this post, as well as other posts about how religion fails.  Not sure why this is, but I'm more than happy to see people approve and agree with my posts.)
