I saw this sign near a church once. It seems to be them admitting prayer doesn’t do anything.

    Jesus demonstrated how to pray, but they ignore it. “not my will father, but thine be done”

    They are refusing to accept their god’s judgement and go against his will. It represents a lack of trust and faith.

    “Do not go among the gentiles”, “It is not meet to take the children’s bread and cast it to the dogs”

    He doesn’t like his own cult.

      He also said “But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen.”

      Praying in public is performative.

        Absolutely. Imagine being an all knowing ‘compassionate’ god and having some dumb fucker blabbering away while ignoring most of what you had written down for them.
