That all depends on the definition of "sure" you use. I am "sure" in the context that I am certain God doesn't exist. This is very different to being "sure" in the context of
knowing God doesn't exist. Hence my agnostic qualities.

I never mentioned the God of the Bible. I mentioned that the common theistic argument is that God is eternal, living outside of time. Any being living outside (in a higher dimension) than time can see the entirety of time (in the same way a being of 3D can see the entirety of a 2D world). Prayer now becomes ineffective because if the God is all-knowing, everything it knows has already happened (from its perspective), and thus prayer doesn't change anything, it is merely a way of "hoping" something is predestined to happen.
