If Allah is so cool, does he really need the praise, or is he really low on the self-esteem barometer?

Allah knows how great he is but muslims think he needs this tonic 5 times a day, actually Mohammad got a discount on this after he negociated with allah personally. Other wise they would be praying many more times a day. The believers have low self esteem hence they see allah the same way. Perceptions change with the perceivers. Basically two things have happened to muslims, Fear and Greed, fear of hell and greed of heaven, hence they can do anything to over come their fear of hell and work on their greed to reach heaven.
Its all about hell and heaven flopwood!

Muslims acutally care about their religion enough to die for it. that includes their children. If we have to pray 5 times a day Or 500 we would. If Allah gave us a sign that he was there than you wouldnt work. you'd just pray all day in fear of what he could do to you.

Just another contradiction in religion. All religions are a scam. Religion was created to control the masses and make a select few rich and powerful. Religion preys on the universal human fear... fear of the unknown. Fear is what drives people to religion.
To be completely honest... there is no proof, yet people will kill over it, so sad the stupidity of most people.

dear brother.
don't you feel sooo lucky, when your Great Emperor / Maha Raja declares that he willingly accept your audience 5 times a day. will listen to any your requests, privately. with no one else as the medium.
real nice, isn't that.

For the same reason we pray. How can we ever have peace in this world if we make fun of others beliefs. Grow Up...

its like a relation between parents and kids. parents knows everything about kids like what do they want but they wait until the kid comes to them and ask for a thing tht he wants a chocolate or a toy. its not just about allah but about every religion.

I don't get it.
We show reverence to our mother-of-all, to our spiritual home.
I am christian, but we know that it is not right to use any name for the creator of our world of space and time, of materia and energy.
