christian looking to understand athiests

[Mister Agenda]

Err... I don't understand that at all, sorry.

So what does he change, when you pray? Does he alter other people's free will in order to fulfil your prayer? What does he do that creates a change exactly?

he cant and never will change anyones free will because we are all entitled to believe whatever we want and do whatever we want.  theres been many different ways that he answers prayers.  if i tried to explain any someone would just say its a coincidence or luck.

If he had actually stuck to that policy in the case of Pharoah, the story of Exodus would have had a lot fewer plagues.

It's good that you recognize the weaknesses in your story. The question is, why you would invoke divine intervention to explain events that you know can be explained by psychology and probability? I know it's because of your faith, and that's fine, you can't help of what you're convinced; what I mean is, why bring it up as a reason for believing when it's clearly the believing that came first?
