When you pray do not prey on your fellow humans to get your prayers answered, because if the prayer of the prey you intented to use as a pawn in your success strategy gets answered as well, the World would be thrown into a much messier anarchy and disorder as everyone would have to kill or be killed!

The above quote summarizes your post. Humans have survival instinct because we live in a world where we are either the prey or the predator. Yes it is through that we don't have to defame the character of one vying for same position but this world is a battle field whether we accept it or not. One has to exhibit atsome point the characteristic of a predator which is the make it's prey powerless. It could be through prayers or politicking or even through diabolical means so it is necessary that everyone to survive must have faith in whatever they believe in can help in times of trouble because those times will surely come except you want to remain dormant and not progress in life.
