The Prayer Paradox

The Prayer Paradox

There are religious people who believe God has their entire life already planned out for them. 

He knows what your career will be. He knows who you'll fall in love with. He knows when you'll die. And He knows what's in your heart. It's all preordained. 

A lot of those same religious people, though, also believe that God listens to them when they pray. Which is weird.

Because most people pray for certain outcomes. They want to do better on that test. They want a promotion at work. They want to improve their health.

Prayer is really just another way of asking God to revise His plans for you.

So either prayer works, and God changes your life... or prayer is useless because God already knows how everything's gonna play out. Which is it?

To put it another way, if you really believe God is omniscient and knows everything, then praying is kind of a dick move. Because you're saying, "God, I don't trust the plan You have for my life and I want You to change it."

People who pray are really just making God angry, aren't they?
