Summary

This quote raises the question of whether prayers from individuals engaged in war, specifically those involved in killing others but fighting for what they perceive as a just cause, can be heard or answered by a divine entity.

The quote suggests that this scenario brings doubt to the idea of divine intervention and highlights the complexities and ethical dilemmas present in times of conflict.
