Why is prayer so ineffective at stopping religion bloodshed?

LOL. I believe prayer is ineffective in stopping religion bloodshed because although we may ask g-d to help, He does respect people's free will. I guess people have to choose to be peaceful out of the truthfulness of their hearts. but I do agree, stop the money and we'll get better results. Money sometimes speaks louder that words!

Prayer only exists in people who believe in it.

I mean, you pray to God for something right,

but, your God might not be the right God or

religion, so your prayer won't work.

for exampe:

5000 muslims praying might not do anything because

Islam is not a real religion.

Prayer by itself will stop nothing. But prayer to God is to ask Him to act. And He will, in HIS own good time.

Revelation states HE is gathering together all the nations for Armageddon. He is going to solve everything in one almighty ACT. And not dozens if little ones.

(Revelation 16:16) And they gathered them together to the place that is called in Hebrew Har–Ma·ged′on.
