i'm still an atheist and have no plans to change that.
i think that's some proof that prayer doesn't work, don't you?

does freewill exists?
you tell me. if god is omniscient, then freewill is a fallacy?

Yes, No, Wait, seems to be covering all possible angles to me. Gotta love a religion built on faith and prayer, two absolutely worthless concepts. It is embarrassing that any grown, semi educated, rational human can believe this beyond the age they give up their other childhood myths.
As paul said in 1 Corrinthian 13:11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
Do you think Paul understood irony?

Because salvation can't be forced onto anyone. It's a personal choice that a person makes. Personally I don't think it's proof that God doesn't answer prayers. I believe that God does what is best for the person and sometimes when people pray for things it's really things that they don't need. If you're an athiesist and you plan to stay that way, that's your business. I'm a Christian and I plan to stay that way. Not here to convert you, call you a bad person etc. You have a right to believe in whatyou believe in just as much as I do. I think that when some Christians get so fanatical that's what turns other people off to Christianity. I have a responsibilty to tell you about the Lord (plant the seed as some people say) but the watering it so it will grow??? That's between you and God. I pray you find whatever answers you're looking for. Never to force God onto anyone....It just doesn't work that way.

So far only 83 have prayed for you. I think that this sort of conversion requires at least 107 Christians praying, but you should already be feeling a slight tingling sensation and a decreased desire for the new Richard Dawkins book.

God is full of surprises and His wonderful light can reach into anyone at anytime,but you may not be ready for this yet and God will not force conversion on you against your will, He will however hear these prayers on your behalf and honor them in His own good time.

You can not be saved until you have faith, and believe that Jesus died on the cross for us so we could have salvation through him from God. God has already been working in your heart and soul for if he wasn't you would not had people pray for you. May God keep working in you.

This prayer thing confuses me..
How come some prayers work for some people and not for others?..

It's not that the prayers aren't working. It's they are pray to a higher power that dos not exist.

I guess you don't want to know how long people were praying for God to find me, then.
P.S. It took more than a few weeks.

Sometimes God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayer.
God knows what is best not us.
So, no it does not help prove anything.

not at all. God doesnt force people to choose life and liberty. He gives them free agency.
It does show that there are alot of people who care about you even though they dont know you even if you disagree.
