Warnings: 0
A Bishop has used his Easter address to criticise comparisons between a mystical "ordering system" used by TV host Noel Edmonds and Christian prayer.
The Deal or No Deal presenter is said to put his TV comeback down to being granted wishes by "cosmic ordering".

But the Right Reverend Carl Cooper said people placing "an order with the cosmos" to be delivered was "nonsense".

Edmonds' website refers to the concept, which he discovered when he read Barbel Mohr's The Cosmic Ordering Service.

People can order anything from a luxury home to the perfect husband but vindictive orders will not be granted, proponents of the theory claim.

No 'room service'

But in his Easter address Bishop Cooper, the Church in Wales Bishop of St David's said: "It may be laudable to set goals in life, but we don't need to dress this up in spiritual language.

"Intercessory prayer is part of our Christian tradition, however it is not divine room service, nor is it a heavenly shopping trolley."

Right Reverend Carl Cooper

A spokesman for Mr Edmonds said the former Swap Shop presenter had only "played around" with the system.

The said: "It is all a bit out of context. Noel Edmonds has said he is a man of faith.

"But he hasn't been gripped with some L Ron Hubbard-type faith (Scientology).

"What Cosmic Ordering did was trigger in his mind that we have to be positive and he just started making more positive decisions.

"He wrote a list of achievements but not in the way set out by this system. It was part of life changes which happened to him after his split".

Edmonds left TV screens when his BBC contract expired in 2000 and split with his second wife, Helen, in summer 2005.

In October he returned to TV with Channel 4 game show Deal or no Deal. After just six months on air the show is attracting high viewing figures and has earned a BAFTA nomination.

You can only ask for something and receive something from someone, a sentient being, who has the conscious will and means to grant your request! In my view a safer bet is to ask for something from the Creator of the Cosmos rather than the Cosmos itself and then give thanks to them when you receive it, rather than something with no will, feelings or emotion!!

Cosmos ordering is nonsense but talking to someone/thing that doesnt exist to ask for support and guidance through life is not....

I believe that deciding on your goals in life and writing them down clears your mind and helps you to focus on what you really want to achieve instead of worrying about the small things.

Deciding on your life goals can only do your positive outlook on life some good. Once you know what you want you can then focus more easily on what you are trying to achieve.

This 'cosmic ordering' as far as I can see is not a way of asking the cosmos to fulfill your dreams, more a way of focusing your mind on fulfilling them yourself.

Just my opinion, Neefs xx

Man believes in Power of Positive Thinking, rather than book which tells us a seven-headed dragon is going to attack the world.

BURN THE HEATHEN!

So, what is the difference between cosmic ordering, which you say to a "higher being" what you want in order to get them, and prayer, which you say to a "higher being" what you want in order to get them.
