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"?

That’s a great question, Sharon. I’ve asked it myself. Jesus said, your Father knows what you need before you ask. So why ask? Why ask anyone for anything? We should just give to one another intuitively.
.
I’m being a little facetious... I think it’s important to acknowledge our need before God... that’s what prayer is for. It has nothing to do with advising God... He knows us far better than we know ourselves.

Well that’s the amazing part isn’t it.... that we can bend the will of God. Read the biography of George Mueller@Emosaur

Really? What’s the longest verse in the Bible... what’s the shortest... and don’t Google it. @Emosaur

Come on... what’s your answer?

That’s a pretty easy question.

A red herring? Do you know what that expression even means? Longest verse Esther 8:9; shortest John 11:35... those are basic questions with existential answers... I would have thought you’d know that, my friend @Emosaur

You’re knowledge is superficial... name the minor prophets: starting with Daniel... ending with Malachi. This is your area of expertise... should be easy for you: @Emosaur

I’m waiting... that was an easy question. What’s the chronological end of the Old Testament? Name the books of poetry? These aren’t theological questions... just basic things that anyone who professes to know the Bible can answer easily. @Emosaur

Can you Google ‘red herring’ and get back to me? I can’t debate you because you are ignorant (in the true sense of that word) also don’t profess to be a scholar. Can you name the Pauline epistles? Excluding Hebrews.., the authorship is unclear. @Emosaur

These are very basic questions, my friend.
