trials make them more desperate

People with a personal relationship with Christ are rare... and even those who do sometimes don't talk to God as much as they should/ "should," but I think it's because even those who don't believe full-time, so to speak, when they're in a jam... they go to the Source. God is the Source. He's the only one that can change things after someone tries to do thing on their own... and for many people, He's a last resort instead of someone they love and respect and obey. If people put Him first, as the Bible says, then there'd be a whole lot less problems.

Well, unfortunately for us... we aren't perfect like you, right? This is one thing that I despise hearing from believers. We are so caught up in where we're going that we (I've been there too) forget where we come from. So what if people call on God until things go bad because it's better late than never. What business do you have speaking of others that way anyhow. Doesn't Jesus say not to judge? Isn't that when Jesus makes Himself available anyhow... when we can't find the answers? Scripture says that sorrow is good because it leads to repentance. So let it be. We are supposed to be leading people to Christ... not away as we point the finger of judgement on them.

because believing God is not natural to human, when an baby is born he is always athesit, babies don't pray to God, we are born atheist. When difficulty struck out of our control, human tend to lean on some kind of crutches, some people rely on themself or family or friend, a few of them don't have much self-confidence so they made up a story called God

Because many people like to use god as a way to try to solve their problems. Instead of taking personal responsibility, they simply fall back on religion to help them. When things are going well for them, then god is no longer at the forefront of their mind because they don't need anything.

I dunno. Human nature, I suppose. I also suppose that if there were no such thing as suffering and trials then there would not be a need to ask for help. If there were no death and disease and if God didn't make himself known then there would be no reason to cry out to a God.

You think God wonders about that too?
I think its just human nature and God probably realizes it as much as we do.

Because they assume that maybe God got them in trouble to begin with. God IS supposed to have that capability, right?

An old saying: "there are no atheists in a foxhole".
When some is in distress or their life is in danger "help!".
When the danger or problem is over:
No Problema.

Did you take a poll? Most Christians pray to give thanks regularly, when there is trouble they pray for help!
