There are billions of reasons to pray

1. Praying means showing faith . Without faith you can't please God .

2. Praying develops your relationship with God

3. Praying helps you know God's will

4. Prayer prepares you for spiritual battles .

5. Prayer is an act of obedience to God

Etc

If you realize , praying is for our own good . God being all knowing does not reduce the efficacy of prayer . God commands us to pray , he knows why we should pray . So giving petty objections like these ones are doing just does not make any sense to me .

Your delusion will come to an abrupt end when you finally, I doubt it though, realize that when you pray you are only talking to yourself.

You are making specious arguments here . It's the same as asking me why God didn't create humans with wings and females with just one boob . However God chooses to do things is to his glory

I like your #3. So what do you do after you learn the will of your god? How does the knowledge help you?

After they'll tell you that they' operate in logic and reason '

My boss will share his plan with me. He doesn't know if I will execute the plan. That's because he's not all powerful and doesn't know the end from the beginning.

Your god on the other hand has a will which is accompanied by a plan set in motion before your time. The will is set in stone, even Jesus acknowledged that when he was tempted to flee in the bush.

That guy (Kingebukasblog) always spills nonsense. After I made a nonsense of his other thread, he started calling all atheist ignorant.

Hahahahahahaha anyway do not start boasting out how you made nonsense of someone on a thread of course that person would never agree you did, let the people who read these debates decide who's gat the salient points and who's not..

I find stuffs like this infantile, do not say it let your posts do the talking for you that's how it goes.

these beliefs are very vulnerable most times when debating atheists theists tend to do the most damage themselves..

people don't realize it even though they feel they have made a good point it always does the most damage to the readers faith when they keep contrasting it with the conflicting points.

E.G Logicbwoys thread where we talked about omnipotence paradox..

Be an intellectual giant but that should always come with humility because you should debate to teach and learn not to massage your ego and start to drag who's got the better argument, the readers know it when they read it.

I like the biblical book of Sirach (A deutroncanonical book) you won't find it in most bibles (pentecostals) its mostly used by catholics and Orthodox. there is a quote there that goes.

"The higher you become, the more humble you should be"

What stops you from pleading,begging,crying and shouting for help to your creator?

Only ego would make someone leave you to beg and grovel before he can decide to help you, only wickedness would make someone leave you to cry and fast before he can decide to help you.
Only something forgetful would warrant you repeating the same thing for years to remind him to help you

If your supposed God operates within these confines then he is not "All good" , not all knowing.

Rather shows a very petty character that is ruled by an unparalleled ego problem, wickedness and chronic forgetfulness

If you have a problem-you ask for help,how easier could that be.How do you then envision God to help you,if out of arrogance you decide not to .You dont want his help,then why are you expecting his help?

This is arguable . Some Christians have various ways to describe God's prescience .
