This means God is going to know exactly how everyone is going to turn out in the future because he has created the recipe for everything.
God has therefore created beings which he knows will pray for him, he knows who will suffer and who will not, he has created certain personalities some are more prone to committing sins and some are not.
God will know at the time of creation who will commit bad acts, the IQ of every single individual, the neurons and their pathways in every individuals brain because he is the creator of a type of recipe.
In the same way I bake a cake, put it in the oven and expect a cake and not a pizza to come out.
You're also assuming God likes to receive prayers, now I wonder why is that?
Does God have a brain which releases endorphins? Does he have feelings? Why are you making him human-like?
Assuming god exists I do not think he loves anyone considering all the harsh punishments he has handed out to people who have done nothing wrong what so ever.
if you enjoy praying, be my guest but all these assumptions you make are just extremely unlikely.
Could not agree more. I was taught all the usual Catholic programming from the very beginning. They have it down to a science, they've certainly been at it for a long enough time. Get them while they are young. Conditioning is what it is, hence Hitchen's 'Cosmic North Korea'. To a very large extent you do not stand a chance, due to the fact all your internal circuitry is wired as per their orthodoxy. Consequently you do not see the sheer fallacy of the entire enterprise. Most of 'em will never be re-wired, sad to say.
