Really? So when someone wants to know what career path they should choose, they can pray to your deity and he will answer them? If someone wants to to know if they should open a business, they can pray to your deity and he'll let them know? If someone needs advice on how to invest their money, your deity will help out?
If this is true, then everyone should have a successful career, businesses should never fail and no one should ever go bankrupt.
How is this a "spare tire"? I'm not talking about praying when you're in trouble. I'm talking about praying looking for guidance! You said it yourself: "it is a "steering wheel" that directs us in the right path through out life". So why wouldn't your deity direct someone on the right path when they ask for help in choosing a career path, or guidance when investing their money?
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
