Do you really think that if you pray a god will hear your voice? Do you think that every birth is a gift from a god and that a god made you in your precise form? Do you think a god will actually cause a plane to have a safe crash landing? There are celestial bodies out there that are so huge it would take a hundred years or more traveling at the speed of light just to cross it. And these celestial bodies may not even have intelligent life in them. Why would a god create something so massive and awesome in spectacle and then create something so insignificant such as Earth and call it it's super special creation, so special I'll send down a son to die for them?

In the scope of everything, you are nothing.

You are not special.

So its ridiculous to claim that a god, if such a thing exists, created you specifically in your homo sapien form to inhabit the specifically super specially created Earth and that it wants you to praise it. And that if you pray really hard (got to bow your head and clasp your hands or it wont work correctly!) that it just might do a miracle, such as angling a crashing aircraft a few degrees (compared to a 3,000 light year wide celestial object) so it can not break up on impact.

The notion that a god looks upon this planet is ridiculous.
