But, what do you guys think about 'prayer'? I believe in the power of positive thought. What do you think/feel when someone asks you to pray for someone/something?

I think faith is much more interesting and varied than those believers who make you feel bad would like to believe. I see no reason why we all must believe exactly the same things or the same way.

I certainly don't offer Christian prayers since the idea of an omniscient/omnipotent entity that can be swayed by personal entreaty is appalling.

Well put, Alex. I agree completely except I do think praying for another can have an effect. Don't ask me how, but I do think it can help. Certainly does zero harm. Not that I see "god" the same way that I think the vast majority of people do, but still. Maybe any effect that comes from prayer actually has something to do with the net of energy that I believe flows through all things that exist or with metaphysics, in our thoughts creating our world.

which ones did you try? Id be most curious to know how you ranked what

I liked the Cofradia label reposado one the best, followed by 1800 reposado, followed by Patron Silver, and Patron anejo. Husband put the 1800 behind the Patron, but otherwise had the same order.
