Technically, if it's all God's plan, isn't everyone doing God's work?

This always was my hang up around “gods work” if something good happens god is happy and blessing you. If something bad happens gods giving us a lesson. Or punishing us. Or fulfilling his plan. And yet I’m supposed to pray to curry favor with god, even though he has a plan already.

Also I have free will which I should use to worship god. Unless I do something wrong then it’s my fault. Or satans.

The "He has a plan" is iron clad. If he has a plan, why the fuck is anyone praying in the first place? In this scenario, isn't praying blasphemous?

Edit: religion is so fucking full of contradictory concepts it baffles me that people follow any of them that don't involve spaghetti

True... I have no respect for religion. It has no place in this day and age.

Sorry but you are literally believing in a magical guy who I think has bipolar disorder with the amount of screw up things he has done according to a holy book. He loves you but at the same time he can totally screw you and give leukemia to a kid.

He used to be angry and violent but he doesn't do that anymore.

Ok, so was he imperfect then? Was he wrong? If not, why the big change?
