I never understood praying... an all knowing god knows what you want to pray about, so why waste his time telling him stuff he knows already? He's a busy guy!

Prayer amounts to expressing doubt that God's plan is as perfect as everyone says it is.

Like so many other things - like this whole god of classical theology business..that's just something people say. People who make appeals to intercessory gods do not believe the plan is perfect, their own experience, and of course their observed behaviors, powerfully compel them and anyone observant of them to believe otherwise.
The interventionist component of all theistic belief is easily the most ancient, and the most genuine.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

The point of the prayer is to reinforce psychological dependence upon the religion. The the reason why this behavior receives widespread encouragement, is not to benefit those making the prayers, but to benefit the religion.
thus prayer can be thought of as a nicotine. however, the smoker may rationalize the smoking behavior, the reason why there have been widespread encouragement for smoking for so long was because there was the lines of Phillip Morris.

Well your "humble" opinion isn't worth shit when stacked against tons of evidence supporting reality.
