Yikes! Seems like you're not a Christian, according to our resident True Christian™ Drich:

My response to you regarding "wishes" is that the things you've asked for are nothing special. I know of dozens upon dozens of people who have gotten a car without prayer. So what that you sat down and asked for something that anyone can get?
