Power of Prayer and Fear of God

That's what I've often said.  Why do you need to telepathically tell an omniscient being anything?  If you need something and this omnibenevolent deity is going to get it for you, then why would you ever need to pray for it?  And if you want something and it's not in this deity's plans, no amount of praying will ever make it happen, so prayer is totally useless in that regard.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
