Why do christians pray? [Spirituality & Religion]

According to the christian myth, their god has this great plan and always does what's best for us. Praying amounts to asking it to do something it hadn't thought of doing. Isn't it rather arrogant of them to presume they know better than their "almighty god"?

Hi well I'm not a christian but if I'm hanging off the side of a building I guarantee I will be dearly sincerely praying to god to save me.. maybe it's just human nature that we made a god up to pray to and help us in such times when there is nothing else.

@SW-User Which god though? You better get the right one but I suspect it would be whichever one you've heard most about in the environment you were bought up in.

In the situation you describe, some of us would pray to the great god Fuck. I've found He often answers my prayers as in "Oh Fuck, where did I put my keys?" Maybe you've prayed to Him too.
