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"?

Oh good...one of the SERIOUS subjects here.
@Elevatorpitches
She is a bit lost as a hateful atheist. You should check out her profile. She did some REALLY nasty things in the Catholic Church. The number of times she was slippered and caned. I would be sore too!
@SomeLikeItHot slippered and caned????? WTF

At least I could never be as hateful as some on the evangelical christians here.
@Sharon
Your post is hateful and you have a contempt for the church.
I am sorry you were caned so much but then again maybe you weren’t a good little girl back in the day.

I make no secret of the fact that I hold the christian church in contempt. That's because of its attitude towards those who don't blindly accept every thing it says and refused to be cowed by it.

It you find my post hateful, you're free to ignore it. No one is forcing you to read or comment on it. You don't seem concerned about the hate christians direct at the LGBTQ+ community though. Looks like the old double standards again.
@Sharon
More falsehoods, I expect no less. It is hard for you to reveal any truth with hatred towards the Church.

@SomeLikeItHot What have I said that you claim is false? Are you now saying I don't hold the church in contempt? You just hate anyone who isn't a christian.
@Sharon
You are confused.
You might review what you think before you confuse everyone.
The Church is for people.
The challenge comes in when the sacraments are desecrated.
You come across as one disturbed psychologically rather that a defender of free thought.

Not at all but you definitely are. The church is an oppressive money making organization for the already rich. It works by putting people in fear of supernatural forces and blinding them to reality. It seems to have done a very good job on you.
@Sharon
Make all the accusations you want. All of the slippers and caning is a cry for self pity.
Why do you even come near the subject of real religion.

You know nothing.

LOL. I obviously know more about it than you. Why are you here? You're right out of your depth.
@Sharon
What substance are you on?
Anyone with half a brain can see that this post is nothing but venom of a schoolgirl that had to be beat with a cane and still didn’t change her path.

I was going to ask you the same question. If you're not using anything, perhaps you need to. Seek professional help while you still can.
@Sharon
I suggest you go back to the nun that needs to finish her business on your hind end.
Sharon · F
@SomeLikeItHot What have you been taking now? Who said anything about nuns?
@Sharon
Don’t project substance abuse on me you silly goose!
Sharon · F
@SomeLikeItHot If you're not using mind altering substances, your medication isn't working. Go back to your physician or psychiatrist to review it.
@Sharon
Quit drinking vinegar.
I can smell your reek over the line!
