First of all, that video picked out isolated verses to try and prove their point of view. They left out the verses that say our prayers will be answered If it's in Gods will.....I hardly think praying for 6 sixes and/or gambling falls into the category of Gods will. God has plans for everyone, and just because we see things with our feeble minds, doesn't mean that God doesn't or isn't answering our prayers. Think if you were a teenager and prayed to God - Please let my boyfriend ask me to marry him! Now if God knows 10 years in the future you will meet your soul mate, answering your proposal prayer now would not be in your best interest. So just because our prayers are not answered in the way we think , or in our timing doesn't mean He isn't listening and responding. There are also many things that can hinder our prayers, and of course that video didn't touch on that either.
God is NOT a Genie in a bottle! God is our Father - As a parent, we don't always give our children what they ask for...We are much wiser then they are and we set limits and rules accordingly, just as God does!

(James 5:15-18 NKJV) And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. {16} Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. {17} Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months. {18} And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit.

Every scienfic study backs this video up. Even religious leaders admit that prayer has no effect. See this page for details:

if the taste of pork isn't to your liking.. then do not eat it. Some like pork..some don't.. I'm pagan, vegan and polyamorus in .. NOT for everyone but I don't worry about some one who believes that ONE is fine, loves beef and think Jesus rocks... I think that it is a personal choice.. I CAN tell you that a collective consciousness.. HAS power and influence.
