The problem with prayer.

[Angrboda]

The evidence is obviously something you want to hear, something that bloats your ego even more, rather than something that could be empirically tested by others 

  Yes all evidence is what I want to hear even when it's not what I expect. No it doesn't bloat my ego, it does how ever cause me to feel very good that God would share the knowledge with me as He promised. Christians do not need to go through a process of testing the knowledge God gives us we know for certain it's validity.
