I wasn't trying to imply that you personally are a robot or that you haven't analyzed a prayer study - I have been using the term "you" in a very general way - referring to all those who share in this belief in the power of prayer.
But basically to wrap it up - let me clarify your position for my own knowledge. Based off of all your posts this is my legitimate attempt to make plain your position in simple point by point.
Do correct me if I'm wrong ...
Your god does hear all prayers.
Your god is everywhere and already knows the dire need even without hearing the prayers.
Your god does not answer all prayers, regardless of their urgency.
Your god is less likely to answer prayers made by people who do not recognize the supposed sacrifice of his son JC.
Your god is more likely to answer prayers that are "more realistic." (Your daily prayers, etc.)
Your god ignores millions of prayers by his own followers. (Obviously there are many christians praying for the relief of the starving throughout Africa... and these prayers are not being answered)
Disturbing really ...
He creates the universe in a moment but diddles with his "favorite" creations like a teenager playing The Sims, choosing who to bless and who to torture ... all before burning them for eternity in hell. What a horrible horrible dictator you worship. Jesus Christ didn't die to save you from hell ... he died to save you from his old man.
