If I'm praying that something bad happens to another person, then I'm doing it wrong.


I can't affect the world around me by my will, i.e. magick. If I did wish ill upon someone and something bad did happen to them, I'd certainly feel bad, though I wouldn't assume causation, my feeling bad would be over my own misplaced feelings--I should know and do better than to wish something bad on another human being.


Prayer isn't about trying to force my will upon the world; but about submitting myself to God, in order that I might exist for Him in the world. Thus bad prayer--selfish, malicious, etc "prayers"--isn't prayer at all, and is just sinful wishing.
