People pray. A lot. Even
atheists pray. It’s not surprising - in America, the numbers are staggering.
92% of Americans in 2010 believed that there is a God, and 83% believe that God answers prayers.
I think that’s amazing, but not particularly surprising.
Our country is known for opportunity, prosperity, and excess - even in the most absolute worst situations one might find themselves in here, it’s typically still feasible that there’s a hospital, or police, or a helping hand one can turn to. If you pray to God to save you and help comes, it’s probably going to feel like a pretty convincing proof that there is a God who answers prayers.
But what about when the prayers go unanswered?
Well, for the faithful (no matter the faith) when ‘God says no’ it’s because it’s “Not part of God’s Plan.”
Hold onto those numbers in your head - remember, over 90% of Americans believe in a God (majority Christian) and over 80% believe he answers prayers. Hold onto that while you read.
