Does God put any more or less.......

I would think that would the fair thing to do Bear, but what about this hypothetical. What if a good, peace loving Christian is praying for ill will against a good,peace loving Muslim, while at the same time, the Muslim is also praying for ill will against that Christian. Doesn't that create a paradox of sorts, if the One God is fair and just ?

Hell, I've seen guys drop to a knee and thank God for scoring a touchdown. And thousands of peope applaud him for it.
The concept of God is not to be trusted in ordinary hands- it's too dangerous. Best to just let them have scripture and try to minimize the damage they do with it.

Why do you care? Do you believe in any God? If so, which one?

If none, then you answered your own question with "no" because there no your opinion is there is no God to give credence to anything.

Which one? There is only one. Or are you asking for a name? Hell, you don't even know how many names you have had, never mind the names God has had.

True that. History has proven this to be truth.

I'm sure you've probably heard this before, but when I was young, I asked if good people who weren't Christians went to hell, simply for not being Christians. The answer I received was "YES", unless they have never been exposed to Christianity. To which I responded, then why in hell did you ever expose me to Christianity ? It's not logical or rational for people of any religious belief to be expected to summarily dismiss the religion there were exposed to simply because they are later exposed to another religious belief system.

It used to be, but only during Lent now, a Catholic was not allowed to eat meat on any Friday because that's the day Christ gave up his flesh on the cross. When the Pope changed that requirement, my friend asked his priest brother if those that defied that rule and went to Hell would be brought back, to which his brother replied "No" because it is no longer a defiance of God but they were knowingly defying God back when. So much for immutability. Fickle.

Credence into a prayer from a Hindu, Muslim, Buddhist, or any other person of faith who is a non-Christian than a prayer put forth by a Christian ?

God answers all prayers, but how and why is known only to him.

That would fall under another answer I often heard in my youth when querying religious matters. The old 'mysterious ways' response. kinda of a catch all safety net for any questions there were no logical answers for.

God is supreme logic, he authored it. your inability to comprehend it is not an argument against his existence.

You can say the same thing about science. What was there before the Big Bang? Why has nobody ever seen dark matter? Why haven't we found a gravitron?

All these are mysteries.

Is that an argument for a God's existence, against a God's existence, or just a statement in general ?

We don't know yet, therefore, a god? How does that work?

I just prayed for a million dollars to appear in my living room. Not all prayers are answered.

How would you establish that?

Because the million dollars did not appear. This is easy to understand, it's not rocket science. Not all prayers are answered. If a person prays for a loved one not to die and the person dies then how is the answer to the prayer know only to god? The person died, end of story, no prayer answered.

That doesn't establish a prayer was not answered, only that it wasn't fulfilled according to your wishes.

So where are my million dollars? If a person dies after somebody prays that they don't die then how can that be called fulfilled?

The answer was "No."

What's the difference between "no" and there being no god?

Are you aware of a "yes" so that when an individual prayed the got significant more positive responses. If so please provide details including which god was prayed to.
