"How much easier is it to sprinkle oneself with blood than to purge oneself
from malice and competition; to eat bread and drink wine and pretend one has
absorbed divinity; to give candles rather than the heart; to shave the head and
retain the scheming privacy of the brain behind it."

What a great quote! I'd never read this one before, or don't recall
it if I did. Very apt. Thanks! :-)

Nothing fails like prayer.
And what to do when family members have different ideas about the efficacy
of prayer or its administration?
The issue of prayer and praying can be very divisive.
Is that good for families? Has the issue caused the break-up of families?

Probably, but I can say conclusively that this issue - and a few very
closely related ones - has caused individuals _within_ the family to
"break up". Mentally. Self included. :-/
