2) You would have to ask God, why it doesn't work for everyone.
1) Personally, I don't care about that, but there's over a billion Catholics worldwide that will say you're absolutely wrong. I've debated people on this but it makes no real difference to me because I see then all as cults anyway.
2) Problem is, if gods even exist, they don't actually speak to people; people just hear what they want to hear. But how do you even know that it doesn't work for everyone? Let me guess, lots of people believe but only some get what they want? And you think this proves that prosperity gospel works? That's called confirmation bias. We can demonstrate this will multiple different tests. It comes down to people believe what they want to believe and they filter information to suit those beliefs.
2) God must play favorites, because some people get to be happy, while others don't. But I see nothing wrong with this.
