The problem with prayer as I see it is that you are basically asking God to do something for you that he wasn't already planning to do. Otherwise there would be very little point.
This would be fine if..
However, every Christian I have tackled about this tells me that God is all powerful (omnipotent) and all seeing (omniscient). If that is the case then God already knows the outcome of every possible event that has, will or can ever take place.
What then is the point of prayer because what ever happens was going to happen anyway and not even God could change that because of the obvious paradox of being omnipotent and omniscient at the same time.
This would be fine if..
- God existed.
- He wasn't omniscient.
- And he was powerful enough to grant your wish.
