SO a just God completely ignores the prayers of a billion people in the world because their understanding of just who and what he is, is completely messed up? I am not a Muslim but I am just asking is that what Scripture says and this is your God?

The One True God is omniscient ( he knows everything) which means he knows (hears) the prayers of everyone.

The only prayer he *hears* ( responds to) is from the christian that asks rightly or the unbeliver that asks for salvation, in repentence.

Most of the people in the world do not pray to Yahweh God, the God of the Bible; the Creator, the Sacrifice, the Resurrection, and the Life.

They pray to some demon, like “allah”, that commands them to perform acts of unspeakable evil.

Others pray to images made of wood and stone by the hands of men; images that cannot hear, or see, or speak, or think.

Those prayers are not directed to the God of the Bible.

But doesn't God honor people's free will? Doesn't he let people experience the consequences of their mistakes? If God answered their prayers, they would have no incentive to abandon their "completely messed up" understanding of God. God ignores their prayers out of respect for their freedom and for their own good, as correction. Furthermore, God mostly ignores prayers anyway, so they're really no worse off than the rest of us. Thankfully God has equipped us all to make our way in this world without needing a lot of supernatural intervention. At the end of the day, we all get by.

The first thing a just God must do is what he SAYS he will do. As far as peoples understanding of Him being ‘completely messed up’ that isn’t something that just happens to a person, it is something that people can control. White supremacists have an understanding of God that, I’m sure, God despises. In the matter of the many disparate peoples of the globe; this is why I think it a good idea to support the Christian missionaries.

Christianity is about love, forgiveness and redemption. Is-Lame is about centralized power and CONTROL. Christianity is about the exercise of free will given by a loving god. Is-Lame is about centralized power and CONTROL. Christianity is about freely choosing to do what's RIGHT because one believes that there is a RIGHT. Is-Lame is about power and CONTROL - PERIOD. I think this is at the core of the current love affair between Is-Lame and the Left, because both believe that humanity must be FORCED to do the right thing, while Christianity and Western precepts allow the individual the freedom to choose what they believe and why. As to whether " God completely ignores the prayers of a billion people in the world because their understanding of just who and what he is, is completely messed up " I can not say. I do not claim to know the mind of god nor do I speak for god so I can not say whose prayers may be answered or ignored or for what reasons, but just because a great number of people (1 billion or so) follow a false god and are trapped in a primitive pagan religion does not make that religion any more legitimate or true, either. How many millions followed the false Humanist pseudo religions of Socialism and Fascism in the last century? Did the numbers involved make those false religions true or legitimate? This is a specious argument of convenience.
