i prayed that the rockies would win the series. my buddy prayed for the red sox. i guess he prayed harder than me? now, he believes in god and i don't.
does god have an address where i can send my prayers quicker? if two people pray for opposite things, who wins?
either god answers prayers or he doesn't....if he only answers some prayers, how do we know that isn't coincidence?

if every answer is either yes, no, or maybe....aren't those the same exact three responses coincidence supplies?

did the guy who called me a f*cking loser want to convince me to pray for the starving? anyone else think he could have picked a better strategy in his debate?

It isn't a coincidence or the power of prayer. It's the law of averages.

I have heard it said - God helps those who help themselves -
Is this a religious cop out???
because you have tried hard, and succeeded . shouldn't you get the credit.
as for prayer - which god or goddess....there are many. Both named and nameless. Or unspeakable.
Next time put on your lucky cap or socks, shirt or what ever it is. Sit down with your friend and enjoy the game. Many things may influence it.
According to some even a butterfly beating its wings off the sea of Japan. could cause a wind or a breeze to help or hinder

Why did u pray in the first time if u don't believe in God? or to whom did u pray? Maybe the god that u pray didn't give a s**t about the game. And maybe God is nicer to those that believe in him and follows him....

God answers every prayer. Many times the answer is NO.

My broken record answer. "The gods give men what they want to punish them." Ancient Greek proverb. Those who get all they want here on earth, get it because there is nothing for them in heaven.

Try bigguy@heaven.com. It use to be .org until the government found out that they were raking in huge profits, and using it to adorn everything in gold.

we are to pray according to his will, so maybe he is a Red Sox fan, but why?

It doesn't matter whose prayer is stronger. I don't think God works that way.
EDIT: Wizzle has a good point.

It is ludicrous to assume prayer has strength. What nonsense. There is absolutely no evidence that prayer has any strength.
