Well considering our tactic of praying to end gun violence has utterly failed, there is at least one example prayers arent an effective method of solving social issues. Unless "god" has a "plan" for gun violence, in which I would respond that any such god is utterly batshit insane and be unseated.
(We are most definitely primates. For better & for worse.)
I like to THINK I'm decent. In the middle, maybe? It feels wrong to say I pray for peace. I hope. I don't appeal to any particular deity, or church, just me & the universe. I just hope, and do the best I can within arm's reach.

Anecdotally I would guess that those who pray, overwhelmingly pray for peace.
How’s that worked out over the last 2000 years?
Not insulting any religion, belief system or comfort but we are just primates.
