Kristen's comments from the Debate Religion group.

I think most people and religions believe that animals are here for humans benefit. They are more of a useful object, than a being with a soul and feelings. I should probably look more into being a vegan. :P
So, it is rather easy for them to not need a justification for why a god would make them suffer.

I am going to take a different perspective on this. I think prayer can be a way of calming oneself, like meditation, but talking to yourself. I also think that chanting of any kind, such as rosaries or group repitition, tends to quiet the mind. When people say they get peace from praying, I tend to believe them. I see it as a form of relaxation. Obviously for me, prayer has nothing to do with God beings or with having questions answered.

I guess Nathan's Religion with a question mark is best, but I LOVE the Skeleton one.
