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"?

@Zonuss You're suffering from a delusion. I understand.
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@Sharon No. I've seen way too much in this world to even begin to take narrow minded idiots like you seriously. 🙂

@Zonuss Childish insults only go to prove you don't have a logical argument.

@Zonuss Why would God create a misguided and lost soul?
Sharon · F
@Entwistle Probably because he isn't as skilled as his sycophants like to make out. Even his "perfect plan" was thwarted almost immediately by a mere woman and a talking snake. Despite supposedly being omniscient, he didn't see that coming. :)

@Entwistle Because that soul went astray from God. 🙂

@Sharon Mortal words trying to describe the plan of an immortality deity. You're not even close. 🙂✨

In that case, you can explain [b]specifically[/b] where I'm wrong.

@Sharon So many details have been left out of the Bible. 🙂

@Emosaur It's a lack of knowledge that is imperfect. Just because you cannot understand something doesn't mean that it's irrelevant or meaningless. There are people who have seen more than you have. Know more than you do. Many of them are wealthy elites living in secrecy. You should have a more open mind about this world. 🙂

How did that happen? It's supposed to be "the word of god" so are we to presume all these things slipped his mind? If I wanted a god, I'd chose a more reliable one than that.

Certain christians would do well to remember that when they try to dismiss well established scientific theories.

@Sharon What is a scientific theory's value compared to real life experiences. This is where you atheists fall off. 🙄

@Emosaur You're talking in circles. You're just a confused person with a small small mind. 🙂✨

It's a explanation of the evidence so is based on real life experiences and observations. Misunderstanding the meaning of the term "scientific theory" is where you religious zealots fall off.

So you're reduced to childish insults already. It's the same every time.

@Sharon Science is flawed and inconclusive. You're fighting a losing battle 😂

As you know so much about science, perhaps you'd like to explain how it's flawed. Or was that just a worthless throwaway comment we can safely ignore?
