I'm reading your reply as a direct rebuke of John 3:16.

Sure you want to go there ??

 Why didn't you answer my question, why did you avoid it. My reply in no way rebukes John 3:16, it actually expounds upon it. One must first be saved through faith before one can come to God to find more definite answers.

Knock knock.
Who's there?
Jesus.
Jesus who?
Not telling you.
Thanks a bunch.

 Oh yes, you're funny and do not know who Jesus is, but one day you will meet Him, you should do that before your time runs out.

*my bold*

Well, unless it is an inside job and 'God' turns out to be one more aspect of the psyche right along aside the ego, id and whatnot.  That actually would explain it and other things quite well.

 Believe me when I say I wouldn't expect you to understand. The prayers were within my personal relationship with God and being so makes it none of your business, I do not care you do not believe me, I know the truth and that is what matters.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
