Okay, I don't like the ideas of a "God" either, but since my father was a pastor for a good part of my life I'll play devil's advocate and tell you exactly what the church would say (minus any curse words I may or may not use)... at least the church I used to attend:

God gave us control over this earth. It's his gift to us. It is ours to fuck up if we wish. The reason people have to pray to God is because of that: we have dominion on earth and God therefore needs our permission to act. But even though we ask him to help doesn't mean he always will. He sees the "big picture" which we can't possible see.


Or something like that. Personally, I am pretty sure it's all bullshit.
