Simple common sense... God does not answer your prayers because.. It does not exist.

God remains a figment of your imagination, a delusion.

Prayer is useless cuz it never works. Put prayer to an emperical test and u will watch it fail, over and over again.
Praying is like chronic gamblin.. U never count ur lose.

The way some people pray makes one wonder..what manner of god would put his people through so much pain just to harken to their prayers? You see them grovelling,gyrating,screaming,climbing all sorts of mountains,parting with their hard earned money,bathing nùde etc. Did i even mention the loooonnnggg days of hunger strike just to get this god to look in their direction,let alone listen to their prayers. Not to talk of answering them...sigh.
There's only one reason god doesn't answer prayers. Because he isn't there,simples!

Of course you need no proof.... Just conjure it in your head and it becomes a fact.

It's OK you don't believe God exists but to insult "God of the Christians" is to take a normal discussion too far. Have you ever asked yourself how you came to this earth as a human being? Did you create yourself? Do you think once you die, everything about you ends? My brother, there is life after death and the only way to heaven is through Jesus Christ. It's unfortunate how you've reduced life to earthly riches.

How does insulting something I don't believe in means taking discussion to far?
Yes I have asked myself all those questions... So? I should shout God did it! And the questions are answered?

As always, feed the multitude with abstracts and they fill offer you their cash!.

The reason why God hasn't answered your prayers is because you're not working hard enough. Work hard and pray less and see if you work will not be blessed.

Prayers doesn't put money in ones pockets, work does! So get up and work!.

Lol... The Christian God will always have a reason for not answering prayers. No wonder his children are always wretched and his prophets chose to defraud members, talking about taking it by force.
Admit it,if this God exists he is plain wicked and heartless. He has so many fixing to do. There are so many Christan denominations and everyone thinks he is getting it right.
The OP is only making assumptions about God the supposedly creator if the universe.... Is this some kind of joke? Most people who are comfortable in life do not bother relating with your God. Me thinks worshiping his God is just an unnecessary bondage.

The only rule about having high probability of makinf it in life is 'work hard and think smart'. Waiting for a sky daddy who behaves like a little kid will not help u. What sort of God created so many rules before giving his living children. They must beg beg beg and beg... Lol @ it could be God wants to give u more than what u are asking for. Oooboy see reason for not answering prayer... And people accept this shiiiit?

Do not call someone a fool
(Matthew 5:22)--"But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be guilty before the court; and whoever says to his brother, 'You good-for-nothing,' shall be guilty before the supreme court; and whoever says, 'You fool,' shall be guilty enough to go into the fiery hell."

Calling someone a fool
(Psalm 14:1)--"The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, they have committed abominable deeds; There is no one who does good."
(Matthew 23:17)--"You fools and blind men! Which is more important, the gold or the temple that sanctified the gold?"

When Jesus said in Matthew 5:22 that you should not call anyone a fool, contextually He was speaking of those who were unrighteously angry. That is why Jesus mentions anger in this verse. There is a righteous anger which is not sinful (Eph. 4:26--"Be angry and do not sin . . ."wink as well as unrighteous anger that is sinful (James 1:20--"for the anger of man does not achieve the righteousness of God"wink. When God is angry with someone, He is always righteous in His anger. Jesus, being God in flesh (John 1:1, 14, 20:28, Col. 2:9), can righteously be angry with people and pronounce upon them the foolishness of their deeds--which He did (Matt. 23:17). Also, undoubtedly, Jesus knew Psalm 14:1 which says, "The fool has said in his heart, 'There is no God' . . . '" Jesus didn't forget the well-known verse, and God is not wrong for calling someone a fool, especially when it is true.
