If I thought there was a magnificent spiritual being who cared for me, I would pray every day, not just if I felt low and had no one else to talk to. We don't spend time with friends only when the going gets tough. We share the good as well as the bad. But for many, God is more of a shrink than a friend.
It's not very often I'll hear a believer leave a cinema talking to their friends about how great the movie was, then looking up and saying "I know our inferior entertainment methods must be primitive in your eyes, but I wish you could have experienced that the way we did. Thanks for the ability of sight and hearing, it helped. We're off for pizza now, I'll talk to you just before I start eating."
While it may be said God needs to be respected, I don't think talking to him as a friend would be disrespectful, and believers often say you can have a personal friendship with the Almighty too.
In normal day to day situations, I think it's fair to say most believers communicate with fellow humans than they do with God. Human interaction is needed to get by. So to narrow it right down, who do you speak to more - people on this forum, or your personal god? Where do you find your priorities lie?
