As George Carlin puts it "Well if it's God's will, and he's going to do what he wants to anyway, why the fuck bother praying in the first place?" - perhaps somewhat paraphrased since it was from memory.

And I say, that if it isn't God's will, and he doesn't even exist, as I believe he doesn't...we still have no evidence for 'free choice', we're part of this universe and we're 'riding along on it/in it' as far as I'm concerned Wink
