If I were to 'pray' for something to happen, 99% of the time it would not happen. However, that 1% of the time it is certain to happen. Most people get their panties all up in a bunch "OH MY PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED". No. Get serious and get bent.

Life is a series of interlinked random events.
Shinola happens.

Prayer is a very serious activity that you should study before making comments. It would be helpful if you had a relationship with your Saviour and some experience with prayer, but even not, you should speak with many different people and read about this activity. Personally, several prayers that were answered could not have happened "statistically"- good grief......It grieves me to think that the Christian experience is such that people know this little about such things. It is astounding what people miss out on during their lives. I appreciate this comment, because it makes me appreciate and realize some things.

Prayers are never answered, because gods are not real. When somebody thinks their prayer got answered it was not a 1% certainty, it was pure coincidence.
Nothing fails with 100% consistency as does prayer. Praying and sitting on butt doing nothing produce the same results.

It is a legitimate source! I have seen to many miracles in my own life and others for it not to be. The reason it will not work for you is simple you have NO FAITH! 100% faith = answered prayers! In Gods time, and it must line up with his will and word! If you pray for evil things to happen you are working with Satan not God!

The answer to this question depends on whether you fall into one of two categories:
#1. A person filled with faith in God.
#2. A person that has a degree in mathematics and has become an actuary.
I align myself with category #1.

The religious have an "out."
God always answers. It's with yes, no, or not now.
Though they seem to get angry if you point out that, by that logic, you can't prove that Vishnu isn't answering the prayers.

It's even worse.
They say that 'all prayers are answered'. There are three answers: yes, no or wait.
If I prayed to my goldfish I'd get the exact same three answers.

Hahaha! So true.
I like how you added "get bent". Even I don't use that! Although it's quite appropriate. *laughs*

he has answered prayers where i'm truly sincere in. either you're not sincere and just thinking about yourself or you're asking for the wrong things. stop judging beforehand and get your facts straight, your ignorance will get some people mad.
