Why do people pray to god during hurricanes, sickness, etc
 

who created em in the first place

Because they need someone to lead them. they are sheep.

you will never see an atheist in a fox hole :)

duke

God is a prick with a bad attitude.

We are all Programed to do so

In god we trust its all over our money

Its called "Just in case"

why not? if it gives someone hope why not?

it seems some people on GFY are almost afraid to believe in God, i for one 100% believe in God, and i also 100% believe in afterlife.

and to answer your question why it is also called FREE WILL.

Who else would they pray to? Jebus?

Cuz they know the Bush govt aint going to help them out hahaha.

its a part of the life cycle. people have to die, suffer, go through changes & tradegity to continue in life. people pray to God hoping he/she/it will spare their mother or son or etc etc

Coz, they find it hopless to rely on FEMA.

because praying to a god helps them numb reality, it gives them a false sense of hope.

Was that a KlickRev whore making a funny?

You my friend are getting a promotion in the morning!

because they realize they have no control, nobody wants to feel like they have absolutely no control... so they feel like they've done something to thwart off the danger because hey prayed....

hahahha

at least they use some humor

Bec. people still believe in miracles... who knows?

"Desperate situation calls for desperate measures"

Simple answer - because they are idiots

Desperation causes people to act irrational

because thier is no one else around who wants to hear them whine about their problems.

I remember being in a tornado once..... no basement, just a closet in the middle of the house.

I learned....

When you think your going to die....you try to become god's best buddy REAL quick.

for people to find the strength to face whatever test God would give them.

because people are selfish and hypocrit, they only pray when it's necessary
