if i told you that praying isnt nessecary and that God will just make your life however he thinks is best you would say that hes being controlling and we are just puppets.
if you dont ask he wont help because you chose not to pray and therefore you dont want his help
God seems to send rain to the believer and nonbeliever (or other believer) at the same rate. That is, how much God helps or doesn't help seems to be independent of whether one prays or to whom. We can detect statistical anomalies. Christians don't have any such in their favor. Why would God deviate from his perfect plan to accommodate a sinner, admittedly unworthy? By definition, if God is perfect, his plans are perfect, and any change from what he was going to do anyway would only make things worse. Morally speaking, a perfect God with a perfect plan should never answer prayers, just stick to the perfect plan.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
