Prayer

Are you religious? What do you usually pray for? "Oh god, please let me win the lottery." "God, please let the bank approve my mortgage." "Please god, please let my son come back alive from Iraq."

Assuming there is a god, how can we be so vain as individuals and imagine a superior intelligence would care in the least about our prayers? If there is a master plan, your desires, hopes, fears, they all make no difference. You are a small, insignificant, disposable gear in an immense machine that has plenty of redundancy built in. Why would a god listen to your prayers?
