16. I appreciate your response, but
I am not sure that this is THE Judeao/Christian answer. Because if it were, then any sect which encourages prayers of petition would be hypocritical. Why bother to pray for God to help you with your problem, cure your disease, or help others. God won't do that because then he would have to get on the slippery slope (which I don't agree with but that is another discussion) of your post.
