Praying is a waste of time. I tried for a good while. "Please lord, I know there are lost of people dying out there, but if you could help my grandfather out of the hospital, if only for a few more years, it would mean so much to me." He died. "Please lord, help me through my struggles, I just want to be happy again." I almost killed myself. Three f**king times.
If he's real, I WANT to go to hell. Ain't no way am I going to a place run by a man who ignores his followers, and has the power of, well, a god, and does nothing with it. A quick Google search shows that about 150,000 people die every day. Most of which die not by old age, but because the cruelty of man kind. Christians preach about heaven and how wonderful and perfect it is, and how bad life is here, and how God can help. But he doesn't help. He does nothing. Which, inadvertently hurts.
Was my way of praying selfish? Sure. And maybe its worked for others. But its never worked for me. God has never answered any of my prayers. I'm not gonna continue praying to someone who just ignores me.
