Ok so I have a question about the concept of prayer. Correct me if I am innaccurate, but don't Christians believe that God has already made up his mind about everything that is going to ever happen? I also assume that prayer is the act of asking God for a favor. However, if God has already decided what he's going to do, then isn't praying effectly asking God to change his mind and do what you want (assuming that what he has picked is the opposite of what you want).

I understand the meaning of prayer in the sense: "we all pray that you get better". In this case it could be equivalent to "we all want the best for you". However, why don't you just say "we all want the best for you" which is more accurate since it doesn't imply that what God has planned can be changed.

So is prayer nothing more than a social expression which has no real effect? I would like an explanation from Christians...

God said in 2 Chronicles 7:14
"If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."

If this is true, which I believe it is, because God does not lie, then if we pray to have our hearts made humble, and then with those humbled hearts pray for forgiveness as God says here, then there is hope for having our nation healed from all this mess.

Won't you pray today, if you dare to call yourself a believer in Jesus Christ, won't you pray?

Starlight problem- According to many fundimentalist chirstians/ Jews the total age of the universe is only 6,000–12,000 years. If this age is correct, it should not be possible to see light coming from stars and galaxies that are millions or even billions of light-years distant.
Get yourself out of this one?!?!

(No views are held by myself in relation to the question, so dont get stressy just need it for a essay.)

An earlier question made me think of this.

If they do find a physiological reason for sexuality and it was possible to redirect your sexuality, would you do it?

Life would be so much easier when you would not have to deal with bigotry and ignorance. By the way, please excuse my ignorance.

My friend who is atheist is marrying another atheist, their families are not pressuring them to do it in a church, i asked them why she's doing it and she said cause it's tradiction. i dont agree if you dont beleive you're not supposed to get married in a church cause doing so it's presenting yourselves to God as becoming one? with the exception of pressure from family or the bried/groom to be is religious, why would an athesit want to marry in church? isnt that disrespectful? this question is not supposed to be hurtful or offensive to atheist, it's not about that. i just dont understand why that if you dont beleive in God would you do that(apart from the exceptions given)? Honest answers please no rude ones. thank you
