Yes God answers prayers but he doesnt always give the answer we want to hear. He isn't Santa If you pray that you want him to help you accept his will he will answer and help you, if you pray for a boy friend or girl friend he may want to know what you did with the last one he gave you.
yes .... and i agree. he answers in ways that help you help yourself. i just moved away from Santa Cruz Ca. i didnt know if it was the right choice. turns out that my life has gotten a lot better with a little leap of faith.
Yes, he answers all those prayers from the Jews in the concentration camps, there because they BELIEVED in him. He is happy to answer the prayers of those who even now are being tortured and abused across the world or those who are dying of starvation. BUT when some middle class American asks him for something, absolutely, there you are, consider it done!

realy?..... realy dude?!?!... who pissed in your cheerios? obviously there is evil and suffering all over the world. but better things happen when you have a good attitude than when you just piss off people who may have been nice to you... do you get better service with a smile or do you get better service while holding up your middle finger?

The duty of the one who is serving you,is to serve you right,irrespective of your smile or your middle finger in front of him/her.-

When my ex-wife takes my kids to church and they come back all excited because "If we are good Jesus will answer our prayers and we can have ...." Will he b$ll$x! And who is left to shatter their dreams? Not my ex-wife, she's got what she wants, two children who DIDN'T kick off during a long boring sermon about how everybody who isn't a christian is going straight to hell.
It's a silly poll as you are dealing with an imaginary figure, another good question should be: Do you think Santa Claus is generous and thoughtful with the gifts he gives?

So if life had got worse then God would be punishing you. It's a very odd basis for faith. Read what the Almighty put Job through in the Old Testament.

Hi, good question !! I think those atheists are feeling theres something above the rainbow but .. pride and inner nastiness taking over, closing their hearts to any sign of His Presence.. The big mistery is always turned to derision and criticism .. so sad indeed

Yes and Santa and Rambo and Spider man and Venus and the moon.....have tried all of them and the success rate of getting what I am asking for is more or less the same. Think you can pray to anyone and anything and you will sometimes get what you want and sometimes not.
