And sometimes to make yourself feel superior...don't forget that one.
That might be your motive if you were a Christian, however that's not how it works in Christianity or with God, God listens to sincere pray, He has no use for hypocrisy.
Why do atheist believe that hypocrisy is a part of Christianity when Jesus spoke severely against it. I do not doubt that some Christians do that, but its not part of Christianity, as I said God has no use for it and if that's the reason for one's prayers then one should not expect an answer. Being a conscientious Christian helps others.
Why is it when someone is sincere in an answer people like you have to be arrogant, is it a habit or do you love being that way?
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
