Benevolent Creator God?

[Angrboda]

In what way is that a justification?  Gravity works whether I believe in it or not.  Why does God need me to believe in him to answer my prayers?  Is this like the shyness effect in parapsychology?

"Gravity" and "God's Grace" are completely different things. And as Nudger pointed out, people who don't believe in God probably wouldn't be praying to Him in the first place.

That's not an answer. Plenty of people who don't believe pray for things when they get desperate. You haven't given a reason why God shouldn't answer their prayers.

Nor did you answer what makes one person's prayer deserving of being answered and another person's not deserving.

My suspicion is that you don't know. You just say shit that sounds good to you without thinking it through.
