Praying to me is nothing more than a psychological play. By talking to the fictional character, it makes the character seem less fictional and more real...why would they talk to god if he wasnt real? If we taught kids to talk to Spiderman, then kids might actually think he was really real.
Ask the christians.. most say it is all about reinforcing the "personal relationship". Sure, some fundies think that their god will change his grand plan of the univers if you beg him enough, but for the most part fundies admit praying does nothing except reinforce the beliefs.
