It feels like, what are we talking about? That's not. Imagine. That's what they're thinking it's intellectually dishonest. And it's also creating a narrative that very few people actually think. Right. You know, Virtually every religion out there has some sort of phrase or saying where they say that prayer is a necessity, but it is not in and of itself adequate. Prayer is important, but you need to go beyond the prayer. In Judaism, I'm a Jew, we've got what is called tikkun olam. Tikkun olam is a phrase meaning heal the world. (18:53–19:04)

CLAIM

Asserts that most religions emphasize that prayer alone is not sufficient.
