"Living forever is not what it's cracked up to be. I'm not sad, but I do get tired more often. Imagine how sad and tired you would be after a few hundred years of singing praises and hosannas with God. Maybe it wouldn't even take that…"

Atheist Prayer Experiment
So I have been taking part in the Atheist Prayer Experiment for a while now.
I have been praying to the pantheistic goddess Amaterasu (You can see my prayer log below).
Nothing happened until Saturday night when I had the chance to make a totally unsupported inference that I am pissing her off (and she is expressing her anger on my family) from a unrelated coincidence.
Why?
'Cause I just found out that my sister has been having an affair for a long time and is now getting divorced.
But I won't make that sort of inference.

Prayer log:
Method:
1. clap twice;
2. bow head and hold;
3. close eyes, visualise Amaterasu and pray;
4. raise head when finished praying; and
5. then bow quickly once more.
