    Matt. 6:

    9: After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
    10: Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
    11: Give us this day our daily bread.
    12: And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
    13: And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

    What more advice do we need??? If God is not dead, then I guess we don't pray to the dead.

    "God is not dead" -- but who is claiming that he "is"?
