They really don't believe they are doing that!
It's difficult to distinguish between one's imagination and the objectivity of a deity.
What do you think?
In reality - Prayer has turned out to be something of NO real use. THERE has never been a real scientific study of prayer - using a large enough sample to be of statistical significance - that even suggests that prayer has any effect beyond that of chance. Prayer is nothing more than what a theist says he will do for you - when he will not even raise a finger to help you otherwise.
Think about it - if YOU were an almighty god - and wanted to be worshipped by EVERYONE - would you want to hear the same prayer DRONED by your people - unthinking - over and over and over again ad infinitum? A logical person would go nuts quickly hearing that !
