hmm it depends on the situation, I don't pray but if someone was gravely ill then I might think about praying because it might be quite comforting.

Praying doesn't always mean praying to God. Youcould be praying to yourself.

When you pray, if what you prayed for comes true, it can't be proven that that's what did it. You can believe that praying made it work...lots of things can never be proven, and alot of the time, it's better if they weren't.

Religion aside, I've found that it does.

You can pray for material things if you truly NEED them. If you need a car to go to work and feed your family pray for a car but not a model 2007 one something efficient. My family prayed for a new home and in a couple of weeks they're gonna start building it.

No, the Christian God is clearly defined in the Bible as being male.

Actually, the applicable section would be the Old Testament. Also known as a version of the Torah. It was written in a matrilinear society, which means women had rights. And please note the books of Ruth and Esther. WOMEN.

HE created males first, realized he could do better, and seemed content after the seconds gender was made

and even though he isn't human, gods are still gender specific

I suppose you wouldn't go out of your way to correct me if I called the Greek goddess Muse a she so I suggest you not go out of your way to attack the Christian god just because he is more famous because this whole "anti-Christian for not-much-of-a-reason" thing is getting on my nerves
if you go out of your way for this one, go out of your way for the rest and until then choose your battles wisely because if you keep this up expect a non-stereotypical Christian to be on the recieving end, and expect them to take it as an insult
