The rotten core from which this stank bullshit stems from is in its mentality. The very idea that anyone would think that any of these three things would lead to victory is laughable. The sign is trying to tell us that by engaging in these three practices, one can overcome the devil and his temptations and bring themselves even closer to a victorious relationship with the Lord. But let's talk about this so-called relationship.
I wouldn't call these three acts prayer, or praise, or even worship so much as I would begging, groveling, and mindless garble. When one takes the time to look back on god's history, they can see a bloodstained past and acts that would baffle even the most degenerate of minds. Just the idea that this being would engage in mass murder as he did is sickening, but to praise him for it leads me to believe that this world contains a lot of mentally ill people. One of the main excuses is that this god had people butchered due to their evil and wicked nature. Many of the individuals in the bible who were slain by the zealous, murdering tribes of god wanted nothing to do with violence and were a relatively peaceful group of people. Many were killed on the grounds that they worshiped different gods, despite the fact that they weren't hurting anything. Who would worship such a being that would authorize and condone such behavior? Oh, wait... yeah.
Christians want to strengthen their relationship with god through the 3 practices mentioned above, but I would hardly begin to call this a relationship. When christians pray to their god and get satisfying results, they are happy as can be, but when the results are not quite to their satisfaction, they immediately fire off with, 'Oh, it's just god's will.' Really? What do you call it when a man is seconds away from proposing to his future wife, when suddenly a bolt of lightning tears out of the sky and strikes the woman dead and leaves the man all alone? Is that god's will? It's honestly no different than what he would have done in the bible. People rarely ever stop to think about sorrowful consequences and what they would do if they were suddenly put in a position that left them feeling great loss, and if it happens that they do, they continue to stoop even lower for a god that has them on strings by thinking that he has a plan for their life. If his plan involves toying with my emotions, then I want nothing to do with him.
In conclusion, prayer, praise, and worship soaks up more time in a person's life when they could be out in the world doing what they -really- want to do. Whether people want to acknowledge it or not, we are all born into atheism, and indoctrination is what eats up peoples' lives. When we promote the idea of a god whose pastime used to be genocide, we are destroying mentality that could otherwise be used for something more productive, such as looking out for each other.
