Thank about the ramifications if God actually answered prayer like he did in the bible...

It would be insanity. Just watch "Bruce Almighty."

He does answer prayers. of CHRISTIANS.
Unbelievers prayers are NOT heard. You have to pray through Christ to reach the Father. The only way to the Father is through the Son. That isn't just salvation. That is prayer also. If you don't have Christ IN you, you have no way too the Father. period.
God, only hears "The sinners Prayer". for salvation. why? They are asking Christ to come in they're life.
Even some Christians prayers are not heard. Read Hebrews. Hindered Prayer. If you think unbelievers prayers are heard, you keep wishful thinking that. Why do you think the world is so messed up?
TOO many prayers are NOT heard. helloooooo?

God does answer prayer and it depends on on if you're living right or not whether it's good or bad. God is a jealous God and we shouldn't have things in front of us that we know are against His principles. He does answer prayer the same as he did in the bible and those that are enjoying being evil will face the same consequences that evil-doers in the bible did. I wouldn't want to be in that place.

God does answer prayers.
But sometimes, in His infinite wisdom, He says NO.
When there were not so many people on the earth, they could communicate with God more... so they were more likely to ask for the right things. As the world became more populous, people grew further from their Maker. And so very few people have their prayers answered with a YES. But we are still out here.
Blessings.

he did then and he does now answer prayers,when you realize ,if unbelievers ever do,that this is a almighty being not your next door neighbor,that has always been and always will be ,and if you stop trying to put him in a human existence,and look at him the right way you may be able to see what he's all about,but you are closed minded and you'll never understand because you don't want to,and that's your free will,but you will one day wish you had looked into him ,when you have to face him and then you ,since you have denied him and mocked him ,will go to hell and burn forever with the one you served on earth,the devil

if he answered all the prayers it would be bad and good cuz some prayers are for loved ones that ill but sometimes people wish for bad things to happen to other people and that wouldn't be good.

If there is a God, he would be way to smart to answer prayers.

He still does - we're just caught up in our own little worlds that we don't see it - and he does it the same way now as he did then - nature, disease, natural process - God hasn't changed one bit - and neither has mankinds questions of him, or their idols (except maybe in shape and form), and yet, here we are, still wondering ... what a sad lot God has to work with and all he desired was a people to dote upon the glories of his heavens and his earth - and we're not worth it.

You ask such a stupid question. and you speak of things you do not know. God always answers prayers, according to His will and according to if you are obedioent to Him and His word. If you dis obey Him, and you dont' accept Jesus as your savior, and repent of your sins, Don't bother asking God for a thing, because He owes you nothing.

Well the bible spaned over several thousands of years..
But the main part of your question is a good one I think.. If you ever saw Bruce Allmighty I think that would answer your question. You know the bit where he just said "yes" to everyone?
But, I tell you futurama had the best answer to that.. where Bender meets "God".. and he tells Bender... "You know your doing things right, when they aren't sure if you are doing anything at all"
