One can imagine a time where the people became integrated with an artificial god [the Beast of Revelations] of [AI] Artificial Intelligence just as ‘we’ are being integrated today. A god that sees all and knows all and interacts in every way with each individual. We can see the nature or role of ‘prayer’ in this case is an actual form of interactive communication where one’s prayers would represent an actual petition to god for something that could be actually manifested. Once such an omnipotent [AI] omnipresent Information System was destroyed people would regress into a mythical superstitious practice of praying as developed in medieval times. It seems that the Satanic powers that be are recreating this god in our time!
