    Just pray to the universal God, the God of all the Prophets/Messengers of God, “The God”. That’ll unite everybody. Muslims of all languages all over the world always pray to “The God”, except that they use the Arabic word for “The God” because it is the only language in the world which has one single word exclusively reserved for “The God”. The word is Allah. It has neither a plural (gods) associated with it nor gender (goddess).

    Whenever believers pray together it makes a difference. It doesn't matter which church they attend. God is no respecter of religion. He cares about what a person believes in his heart.

    There is no evidence that prayer has any effect beyond the psychological.

    Yes. People of different religions can pray together and their prayers can make a difference.
    "For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst."

  • Let's put it this way. When I go out to eat with my friends we all like to eat different things. But we enjoy the meal together anyways.

    No, I don't think so, I'm pretty sure that's one of those main problems in religion... you know.. the whole separate God part, and also the fact that each different religion follows different prophets, etc. They believe in a God, but their God doesn't listen to those who deny him, and vice-versa.

    They can pray together. I am a Christian before I am a Catholic and to truly be a Christian I believe in the betterment of all mankind and I am not stupid enough to think that everyone is going to have the same beliefs as me. I believe prayer changes... and everyone is needed to make that change happen.

    i think praying together is important and site like http://theopenprayer.com/ enables different religions to pray for each other. not pray that they'll change to the other's religion but pray for basic things together e.g marriage problems, job problems.... i dont think you should not pray for someone because they are of a different religion.

    I think a better question would be "Does God hear all prayers?".

    Human tendency is to think everything revolves around us and out beliefs.
    I would think that God has requirements for how to aproach Him.

    No, I am a Christian and I believe that the only way that I can see the kingdom of God is through Jesus. I cant pray with a Muslim because we have diiferent beliefs. Ex 20;30 clearly states that "Thou shall have no other Gods before me" and also I beleive that we can only be save through Jesus "No One Comes To the Father, But Through Me": John 14:6. 9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. So I cant pray with someone who clearly dont believe that Jesus came here to die for MY sins was death and buried and then rose for ME, to save ME and make sure that I have enternal life.. "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? Or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? That says it all.
