I have heard many incidences when people have claimed that god/prayer has saved them e.g. car accidents or other dangerous situations and that prayer has healed the sick.
What I cannot understand is why he would save these individuals, and use his power to intervene, but not intervene when a child starves to death, or when a nation looses people because of drought, when innocent people loose people they care for in a civil war they don't want or understand.
Why would he help some big, fat westerner survive because he prays and not an innocent (who may or may not pray)?
Why would he answer prayers to help people get the job they want, loose weight, give up smoking etc and allow the attrocities that exist for many innocents to perpetuate?
