Prayer is not bad. In fact it is very good. When everything seems bad in your life, you have hope through your faith in your God. So in turn we can pray to him for help and he will help us if we believe in Him. It is written in scriptures that, " it is better to trust God than to put confidence in man". That means as we pray to God, we can trust Him in all things. Because man will always stear you in the wrong path, but God will never do that. It is said that he is closer than a brother.

A: 2


Prayer is not bad, rather it is simply a wonderful way to talk to God. Prayer is expressing your honest thoughts, concerns, thankfulness to Him. History is full of famous people who have prayed to thank God, ask Him questions, etc. God says, "call on me and I will answer you".

A: 3

A prayer is truly an affirmation which is proclaimed with faith and it is therefore not bad. The bad part is whenever people confuse a prayer with a petition, a blessing and a Thanksgiving. There are many people who make heart wrenching petitions, pleas and appeals crying/wailing/moaning with the fettered hope that a Divine Force will eventually come to their aid. The fundamental difference between a prayer and a petition is that a prayer is a loving interaction between two beloveds and a petition is a supplication before an administrative authority. A prayer is good when it actually produces timely, desirable and righteous results. If a prayer does not produce timely results then it is being done wrong and as a result it is an absolute waste of time.

Why does Huck think about religion specifically the good place the bad-place and prayer?

Huck thinks about religion because it is ingrained in the society he lives in, but he questions its teachings because they conflict with his own experiences. He contemplates the concepts of the "good place" and the "bad place" because he is struggling to understand the morality behind societal norms. Prayer is on his mind as he grapples with his conscience and seeks guidance in the tumultuous situations he finds himself in.
