There's even a verse in the bible that says as and you shall receive, for what parent would give a child a stone when he asks for bread? If praying isn't consistent, there's no reason to pray. If following someone doesn't give you results, there's no reason to follow someone.
God wont automatically grant any prayer you pray just because your saved. if he does not answer a prayer how you want immediately it means he has a plan that could be better then what you prayed
How are we supposed to tell the difference between a god that doesn't consistently answer prayers, to a god that doesn't actually exist? The problem with this idea is that there's no failure state. You either get what you want, or you chalk it up to god having a different plan, so it can't be used as evidence. You could pray to anything, and you either will or won't get what you want. If you ask Vishnu for something, and you get it, all hail Vishnu. If you don't, then that just means Vishnu has a different plan for your life.
