It would be cooler if there really were a god.

Prayers are requests by the confessdly unworthy for the laws of the Universe to be repealed in their favor.
Scientists do not pray when a rocket takes off for outer space, they utilize technology and rely on hard science.
After horrendous disasters or personal calamities, religious people commonly thank their god for the miracle of saving them or helping them. It does not occur to them that, if god is omnipotent, he could have prevented the disaster before it struck. Since god did not prevent the disaster, he obviously harmed his poor believer purposely and with malice. Who needs gods like that?
Miracles and other reversals of natural laws supposedly occur merely at the whim of a god who is clearly non-existent and non-omnipotent. With modern recording devices, scientists can expose any sham, almost instantly. Since the advent of objective recording devices, there have been no claims for miracles.

Even if god answers prayers, the church is still led by human beings, bent on taking your hard-earned money, while they get tax-free status. So... church will never be cool in my opinion.

God does always answer prayers. His answers are either yes, no, or later. So, to answer your question, He does, just not always the way you want Him to. He has a plan, so trust in God and He will see you through.

God does answer prayers. It just may not be the answer we want or in the time we want, but He does listen.

Yes.... church is always best when you really meet with God, and you hear him speak to you and you are able to speak with him. :)
When it comes to God 'really answer[ing] prayer', well I think what you're trying to say: 'Wouldn't it be nice if God always said "yes" to everyone we asked him for?' He doesn't always say 'yes' to our requests - however, when you get to know him better and better, you are blown away by how amazing He is, and your life is enriched for having Him in it.

Since God answers prayer already, it is a meaningless question.
If you heard a voice from heaven, that would be cool, even if He said no, or maybe later.

What you are missing is this. "Sometimes, when we pray, we ask for things, this or that".... what one must realize is that sometimes what "we think" we need is not what we need. Some of God's greatest gifts are "unanswered prayers". Count your blessings and trust.
