This all brings to mind the Nevado del Ruiz stratovolcano eruption in Tolima, Colombia, on November 13, 1985. There, a young girl named Omayra Sánchez was trapped beneath rubble for three days praying for her life before she died. If your deity would not listen to her prayers, I have no right to ask that deity for anything.
That is why people praying for stupid things such as favourable outcomes of sporting events really makes me want to vomit.
