Um, don't jump on me for this, but I don't think praying makes the slightest bit of difference to someone's luck or their chances of going to heaven.
Think about it, if praying really worked, how the fuck would that get to God? And there must be, I don't know, thousands of people praying at the same time, God wouldn't be able to hear them all at once.
I do believe there's a God,I sort of have mixed feelings on that subject, but I don't believe that praying works.

I don't know what God you worship, but the Chsritian God is apparently Omniscient, Omnipotent and Pre-eminent.

This would mean (s)he, as a superior being, has no problem dealing with 38759148699 prayer requests at any one given time.

But I really don't see how that's possible/realistic.

You don't see it because you are only a mortal creature.

God is the centrepoint of human existance, from a Christian perspective, and he is ruler of all.

There is no possibility, there is no realism. He is God, he is the supreme existance. If he can create the universe, he can answer prayers.

Then again, you could be an Atheist like me and think God doesn't exist at all. Cool

The subject is a kind of hit and miss/guess question. I don't know what to think.
I suppose I'm not really Atheist..there must be SOMETHING. But I'm not a christian who goes to church and prays and talks about God all the time and such. I've never been to church in my life. AND I've never prayed.

I believe it does, because at my Christian camp, my partly-deaf friend came to the front to be prayed for, she collapsed, and when she woke up she could hear for the first time of her life in her left ear, and still can today.

i really dont know, 'cuz i always look at it at different points of views spiritually, or scientificall. cuzi either think about the story of the angel talking to mary about her new child and that he was the son of god an all that stuff or can there really be a god? i mean, when you die do you live your life in perfecxtion or this evil underworld?

If you want something enough, anything can work. I think this issue all comes down to how strongly you believe in something. I don't pray as such, but I believe that it does have a great deal of benefits.

I totally agree with that.

you dont think that he can hear and listen to a million prayers at once because you and i dont have the capability to comprehend God's power. he is too great even for US to understand, all you have to do is beleive, thats your understanding. if God doesnt want us to understand he wont let us, clearly NO ONE knows why God does what He does, but its because of sin that we dont understand his intentions.
