Your god is yours, however i dont believe in one and i would like to suggest that people will stop pushing their religion on athiests and agnotstics, and i am also tired of people calling me a demon or a demon worshiper, that is not atheism and i would like to tell all of you the truth of the meanings of atheism, agnosticism, satanism, and gothic religions... atheism: disbelief in the existance of God/Gods, agnosticism: The belief that there can be no proof either that God exists or that God does not exist, satanism: The worship of Satan characterized by a travesty of the Christian rites, and gothic: A style of rock music that often evokes bleak, lugubrious imagery. so in conclusion athiests and agnostics are not the same as satanism.

Adam didn't pray to God for sinning because Adam was a PERFECT man. Made perfect in God's image. Sins wasn't established until he committed one. (With the help of Eve, of coarse.)
So, as cloud said earlier, Adam could talk directly to God, so that means there wasn't a need to pray through Jesus for forgiveness at that time.

Being created perfect, Adam was free of sin. When he willfully disobeyed Gods commandment, he then willfully sined. Being created perfect requires perfect obediance.
As indicated in the bible, the wages sin pays is death and therefore Adam forfited his right to life.
That is why, in part God sent his son to show that a perfect man could obey gods commands without sinning. Jesus did not deserve to die yet lost his life, thereby providing a "ransom" for imperfect mankind. God's justice requires that if a perfect life is forfited, that a perfect life must be given in exchange. Adam and his wife were cut off from God from the point that they sinned and praying to him would not have mattered.

I don't think that Adam knew to pray - mainly because (in my opinion) God visited Adam. Read Genesis Chapter 1-3 for a better understanding of the relationship between God and Adam.
It is my understanding that we pray to communicate with God and then he speaks to us through our intuition. Adam was able to see God and speak to God and touch God.

In Genesis 3:8 suggests that Adam spoke to the Lord face to face. So in this case, he did not have to pray to God because he spoke directly to God....and besides....there was nothing Adam could say that would excuse his sin of disobedience and betrayal of God's trust.

He didn't need to pray to God, God already knew what he had done. We can pray but we still have consequences to our sins, Prayer is not a "get out of Jail free" card.

Praying wasn't "invented" yet. He could talk freely and directly to God. Also, there was no repenting, because Jesus hadn't sacrificed himself for everyone's sins yet, meaning he was still guilty.

Sin seperates man from God. His sin broke the connection. That's why it was so bad.

Don't know, maybe he did. The Bible can't contain everybodys whole storey. A book couldn't even contain your own storey.
