Does prayer work?

[mooby]

This is gonna be tough for me to explain, but here goes.

I am not a religious person, I do not pray or use religion to help me when I need it. I do not believe in a higher existence either.

But I do believe that a person can believe in religion if they want. If religion helps you, then by all means continue believing in w/e you want to believe. If a person believes in God and prayer and it helps them, that's fine, because every man has their own beliefs that they are entitled to.

When people ask me to pray for some reason, I do oblige and say a prayer just because if a person is asking for other people to pray for them I will do it to help them.

I guess that's kind of hypocritical in some ways, doing something for another person that I don't personally believe in, but that's just how I do things. I don't care if you guys will think less of me for it, just because I know I am not gonna change my opinion.
