You are taking Jesus' quote out of context, Ollie, and you know it. Prayer isn't about asking God for anything you want - for whatever motive you want - and then claiming it by faith. I realize there are some TV evangelists that say this - and some health-and-wealth mega-church leaders that imply it. But that's NOT what the Bible teaches. I can't kneel down, ask in faith for a big-screen TV, and expect it to show up this evening at my house. And then if it doesn't, say: "Well, I guess Jesus isn't real."
Oliver, if you want to be an atheist - all the power to you, man. I'm not forcing my beliefs on you. But please don't misrepresent the Bible or God or Jesus in an effort to somehow argue that it's all fiction. THAT is being unfair and dishonest.
