The Bible teaches prayer to everyone as God is omnipresent residing in everyone and everyone residing within Him. Is there anything which is not His or which is without Him?
Sorry, I am not a student of Bible but as Bible is His 'words' relayed by saints and His sons, the holy book means it.

No, the bible teaches us to pray to God, and that we may pray directly to him--cool huh?
For all these people that keep saying how vengeful the father is, they need to read the new testament, start at matthew, it's the good news.

I believe prayer to the dead and to saints/prophets was used in the Old Testament but wasn't really talked about in the New Testament. The Christian Church practiced this unanimously until later forms of Protestantism dropped it a couple hundred years ago. They also dumped books of the Bible too so what are you gonna do.

[From quoted site, a teaser is you will. =P]
The Gospel account of Luke records that one of Jesus’ disciples requested of him: “Lord, teach us how to pray.” In response, Jesus began: “Whenever you pray, say, ‘Father, let your name be sanctified.’” During his Sermon on the Mount, Jesus likewise instructed his followers to pray: “Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified.”—Luke 11:1, 2; Matthew 6:9.
The first thing we learn, then, is that prayer, or worshipful address, should be directed to Jesus’ Father, who is Jehovah. Nowhere does the Bible authorize us to pray to anyone else. This is appropriate since, as Moses was told when he received the Ten Commandments, Jehovah is “a God exacting exclusive devotion.”—Exodus 20:5.

No. It teaches that a whole lot of bad happened to those that did.
