Do we all pray or, worship different Gods?
Or is there just one, and if just one than why all the strife and hatred?
Much more to follow as time doesn't allow me to continue right now.

I don't think everyone prays to the same 'God'.
There's really know evidence of that.
I don't think political activists are praying to the same 'God' that Fox News listeners are, that ISIS is praying to that Jews in Israel are praying to that Italian Catholic Mafia members are praying to that the 'White Identity Movement' is praying to that someone in Japan is praying to that a gay couple is praying to.
I could go on and on.
Everyone has their own interest, and as such seems to invent a god that suits their interest and purpose.

If there's only one God with one Love and one Spirit, than why do those who believe in 'said' God all hate each other, makes no senseA white god, a black god, a Asian god, a Jewish god, a African god and European god, Indian gods, Islamic god, a gay god a female god, a male god, a god of the animal kingdom, a criminal god, a god rappers refer to and so on and so on... No one seems to be on the same page when it comes to who are what God really is outside of own cultural or gender or ethnic or national interests. No one really 'follows' a static God anymore, more like people simply fashion a god after their own interest and personalities. Whites and blacks hating on each other, yet on Sunday in church worshipping what? Obviously not worshipping the same deity, otherwise there's be understanding between the two. Why would a god be interesting in segregation 60 years ago, yet not today? If God is never wrong, than why societies evolve and change, yet swear up and down at time were reflecting Gods will. 'If societies never change than why do societies evolve and grow?'How could a 'white' racist who calls blacks the 'n' word while at home in private, be worshipping the same God that black person they call the 'n' word to? That just makes no sense. The more you observe mans behavior, the more you realize there really is no one God all people worship. There really is no unifying spirit beyond 'flesh'. I'm not saying there isn't a God or creator (for I believe there is) my point is simply most don't know or don't want to know who are what it is, cause that might actually requiring changing ways, hearts, and feelings about others. So it's easier for most to just invent a God after their own bias image.

Does everyone pray to a different god, and if so what does that god look like?This is the God most people know and worship. It's known as the human brain, and everyone has their own brain/god that tells them what to do, how to feel about others and how to react to different situations. In this brain god people form fears, likes, dislikes, hatred and love. In this brain god, people judge others, justify persecuting others, plot all kinds of bad and good things. This is 'god' to most, and everyone has their own.

Why do most always assume that 'God' lives upstairs? For it is obvious to me, that throughout history, culture, 'Time and Space', that people, based on their intent and or behavior, are not all praying or receiving orders from the same 'god'.

When we pray, are we just praying to our own brains?
Sometimes I feel we're simply praying to our own brains, and our own brains then respond to what it already knows we want.
example
'Oh god, make me happy'....so our own brain makes us happy, since we really want to be happy.
Everything emotional takes place within the brain, why wouldn't how we react to god be any different.
Maybe it's our brain who's simply the god we're always praying to.
example 'God told me ect', or did simply your own brain tell you whatever...you decide.

Sometimes I wake up and do feel like praying to a higher power, but whom?
I know, I know, some will say Jesus, others will say Allah, and others will say Jehovah ect.
To me, just names.
I me how can we be sure what we're really praying to?
We can 'wish' we're praying to Jesus or Allah or whomever, but in reality we have no idea what spirit we could be summoning.
That being said, if I could invent a god for the purposes of this post, than naturally I'd want to be praying to a nice friendly forgiving Loving God.
One that I had confidence in who'd have my back during good and bad moments and times.
Almost sounds like a parent or very good friend, or even a spouse.
Or even a close pet.
I don't know, I do hope though, wish, that there really is a large loving God out there who does respond to good decent people.

I mean sure, most assume it's 'Jesus' who's some how dialed into your prayers, but how do they know? Could be something terrible on the receiving end of your prayers.

I stopped praying daily years and years ago, and really cannot tell the difference.
I want to believe there's a 'god' that cares, or anything or one that cares as far as that goes. And if does care has the ability to give me favorable outcomes.
I think I'm old enough where I don't need any more 'tests' now, is what your typical hardwired religious type would tell you.
The whole 'god is testing you' BS doctrine.
All that aside, every now and then I do still have the need to pray to something and larger that's not myself. Something that cares, and is looking out for my best interest.
The older you get, unless the Queen of England, but the older you get as a ordinary person, the less and less people care about you and or look out for your own interest.
And when aging alone, the world really starts becoming a scarier and scarier place.
When young, the world is still scary, but at least you're young, strong, and cocky, and up for the challenge.

I don't pray anymore for 'outcome', cause seems when I do, the opposite occurs.
If I pray for 'this' not to happen, it does, if I pray for 'that' not to happen, it does.
sometimes praying scares me as much as a Ouija board does, in that I'm not sure who or what spirit is receiving my prayers.
Even if I say the 'J' word, that's no garuntee that it's the J word responding.

Just seems fate is going to do with me what it wants to do with me regardless.
It's why bad people are billionaires, cause I guess fate wanted them to be.
And is why so many honest hard-working types can't pay rent.
I just can't overcome fate, no matter how hard I 'pray'...otherwise I would have by now, I suppose.

If I could apologize to God, I would. Not to man, but to God.
Man doesn't forgive.
The public will forgive public figures, as in movie stars, celebrities, ect, but common every day people could care the less about your struggles if they don't know you already, or if aren't rich, cute or famous.

Future monologue for video or podcast
Begin
When we pray, who are we praying to? And when we bow, who are we really bowing to?
I mean, they can see us, but we can't see them, and so we just assume the entity before us, that we believe we've summoned through prayer, is good.
Ye sure, everyone prays to their god of belief by using their name, but like how many languages are there? As such, what is a name?
And or is praying any different than the exercise of using a Ouija board?
Huh, what? that's right, what's the difference, some may ask, between using a Ouija board and praying? Both are a form of summoning a spirit/god or deity, right?
I mean I can't tell you how many people, I've met over their years, quasa religious types, who claim to have this ministry or that ministry yet their own lives are in turmoil. Why would a god of love, decency and order keep them in emotional turmoil?
When they pray, what spirit are they really summoning?
Anyways, make up your own mind.
Paranormal Saturday folks, a para show that likes to ask tougher questions.
