This question has bin bothering me for months if not years and I need answers.

Why do some christians shout as if God is deaf during prayers?

Is it that God won't hear if you don't scream or your prayers will take 'emirate airline' to heaven?

and, health wise, what are the effects?

Because it works

The purpose of prayer is to restore faith psychologically. Shouting does the job. It makes them feel as if God has heard their prayers... that in turn convinces them to continue to beleive. The quiet, personal prayer just does not cut it anymore.

Mood of the spirit I don't get that

What strikes me is whenever anyone asked to explain a point of view the answer is. “I don’t know I’m not a pastor” or something similar.
Is this the answer of someone that has been indoctrinated and no mind of its own. If you believe the bible than it also says that shouting is for the hypocrite. Read fake believers. And whenever something was taken with force from you. Does it mean you have to use force read violence to take it back? Ask yourself the question if it was not already be given back. And if God wants us to have it we would have it already or not?. No reason to shout. I personally believe shouting maybe even makes God not to listen to you. I’m from Europe and nobody shouts at God there. Isn’t our wealth one of the greatest proof that God favours us?? And all of that without shouting. Maybe shouting works counter effective. If I was God I would not listen to shouting people. But just sometimes give them something because I pity the shouters. And that even makes shouters believe it works. How sad.
