Age-old debate reignited: why pray to an all-knowing God?
Original: Theists: If your god is all-knowing, all-powerful, and all-loving, then why would you need to # pray ? _________________
A challenge directed at religious believers is circulating online, asking why prayer is necessary if God is already all-knowing, all-powerful, and all-loving. The question is a classic argument in debates between atheists and theists about the logic of prayer. Responses typically divide between atheists treating it as a contradiction and believers offering theological explanations for prayer's purpose.
Why now: The classic philosophical puzzle about prayer's purpose continues to provoke debate between believers and atheists.
