Why do people treat God like a spiritual "Bell Hop", then get mad when their prayers are not answered?

God is God that is what God is. funny thing is when they go to church they live God a tip though it is used for other things it could come across as an insult.then whenever a war is desired they say of course God wants us to kill eachother. then proceed to assure the people doing the killing that they will go to Heaven that their sins will be forgiven. well God never said they would or there are any guarentees they will get into Heaven. so God will not answer all prayers perhaps some might be more likely to be answered if they quit contacting him when they want to kill someone.this goes for any people at anytime who use God as a Celestial WarHOP.also for those who kill other people for other reasons.cannot blame God for being angry. could say something like ''The only time i hear from you is is when tou want to go to war or clobber someone''

They don't feel confident enough to take their problems into their own hands. Praying is pointless unless you take action for it. They expect that if they prey for something they'll always get what they want and people tend to get frustrated when things don't go as expected.

They use god as a crutch when something goes wrong, if their was no god people would feel the need to create one.

I noticed that. There's reasons he doesn't answer to everything. If everyone were rich, famous, and physically beautiful there'd be no challenges to overcome and no lessons to learn in life.

Because Jesus said 'ask and it shall be given.' If Jesus doesn't do that he is either a liar, or never existed in the first place.
