I dont whisper sweet nothings into thin air expecting results. Wait... isn't that the direct definition of insanity? Repeating the same activity over and over again, while expecting different results? When your prayers go unanswered (which they do until sheer coinsidence checks in), you keep on praying, expecting some enlightenment to happen. You do this every time. Hence, if you pray you're quite literally insane, according to the scholary definition of insanity that is. But hey, I am quite sure you'll try to dispute the FACT of that also.
Ha, Ha, Ha, you're funny, not really, what would you know about the reality of prayer, you try to bring in secular definitions into God's work, will not work. Besides you can't prove to me that God does not answer pray, the only thing you will throw out to me is God's not real, and that is also something you can't prove.
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.
