No, never ...but I do curse him/her/it on the regular, it's surprisingly cathartic.

In all seriousness, I don't know if such a being exists and never will. Neither will anyone, with absolute certainty.
No sense praying to something that, at bare minimum, doesn't have an interest in sorting out the mess it caused.

That's like wishing 'good vibes' into the universe. Like, no.

Praying: focusing thoughts as if God can hear them or hes there.

Everythings already planned out to his will so praying does jack shit.

Anything that happens tomorrow is already planned out so, again, your prayer does jack shit and he already knows everything about you, what your thinking before you think it.

Yall really wrote yourselves into a corner with this one. But you can just make some other shit up so...

It at least is meditative, like having a dialogue with yourself.

I definitely have a voice in my head that screams "Please God I'll do anything" every time there's a lot of traffic or I'm farming for a rare drop but I don't think it does anything

Used to...

Im conflicted. I think theres a divine creator but not real sure if he gives a damn. I think the world is his ant farm and he watches on occasion, thinks lol stupid ass ants and goes and does something else.

If prayers are like emails, he doesnt check them very often.

Then theres religious people who view things as challenges and god wouldnt give you anything you couldnt handle. Yeah maybe, but if thats the case I wish he wouldnt trust me so much lol.

I pray to the great Malicious One, our Divine Impaler and Sodomizer of Worlds, Dark Lord Kromdor.

Every night.
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

I have thought the ant farm thing too. But its more positive than that.

You still gotta buy food for the ant farm. You still gotta water it. You are not going to allow your dog or a clumsy visitor to tip it over and break it. If your ants suddenly drop like flies you WILL do something about it. And the ants have nooooo idea of what the ant farm owner does, right?

Having said that, the ant farm does have a lot of free will and latitude on what it does and what happens to it... just like we do

I suppose. I view it as a self sustaining ecosystem (I dont think religion and science bash heads fwiw, but science explains things and even religion to a degree).

Its more along the lines of the watch maker argument. You have an old watch or a grandfather clock, the guy who made it is long dead, but it keeps working.

Explains a lot, such as why god lets terrible things happen. Still not sure how to explain why youre doomed if you are born in a non Christian country lol.

The way I see it, the watch maker/ant farm owner did it, but then the ants or clock gears developed a bunch of lore around them which took things to directions that the watch maker / ant farm owner didnt intend, such as gays are going to hell or non believer = hell
