I hope you will know Christ if you are still alive when this happens. If not you will be living the greatest horror the mind cannot fathom.

Depends on how ludicrous the prayers are. I think for most prayers, 50% is being very generous.

That's not what theists tell me. They say that god just said no, cause it knew best. Mystery solved.
