God
my parents are christian, so they raised me up to belive in God and all that stuff, but when i pray to God, my Prayers never come true. now i am starting to not really belive in God anymore, and im thinking about becoming athest, plus my brother is athest. i know you cant tell me what to belive in, but i just wanted to know what to do.

I know what you mean. But God doesn't always respond to prayers. God never would let you go through more than you can handle.
He goes by his own rules. He doesn't just do what he wants to. He pretty much has a schedule for everybody living in this world. He knows what you want...but he can't give everybody what he wants all the time, because then there would be nothing to keep us going. We would achieve every goal we wanted without even trying. Do you understand?
He has a plan for all of us. He can't just change that. He goes by his own rules and he does things his own time to help you. Some things may be things you hate, but you have to live with it. From what I see, you do believe in God if your this upset about him not responding to your prayers. I think if you become athest, deep down you will still believe in God. And just because your brother doesn't believe in a God doesn't mean you will become that (unless you wanted to).
Praying isn't just about getting what you want. It's about having faith. If you give to people, you will get back more. I know you probably hear this all the time, but it's the truth. I've had little prayers come true before...but some were not really big. But then I realized that I can't always ask God for things, because if we enjoy life, and give to people and are good in the heart he will give us back so much more. He knows the things we want and if we work hard and not just sit around waiting for it to happen, God will probably make it come true.
Pray every night. For people you love, for things you are upset about. They don't always have to be formal prayers...just talk. Say what's on your mind, talk like you were talking to a friend.
I believe there is a god because at times when I feel so upset or I want to see someone I love who has passed away, I see them in my dreams. My brother's girlfriend passed away when I was in the first grade. She got into a car accident, and my brother saw the whole thing. The car went out of control and it banged into a telephone pole. She got injuries on her face and head. Well, I never knew that she got injuries on her head, and I always wondered why every time I dreamt about her I never saw her face. It was always blocked. But then I understood that it was probably a message saying that she's okay, but she doesn't want to show me the pain she went through. Most people probably don't think she was contacting me, but I think she was.
So, God responds to people's problems in many different ways. But I believe he exists. I have many reasons because of this too...but I probably can't fit them all into this.
You don't have to be afraid of God.
God would never let you go through more then you can handle.
Hope you understood.
Remember, praying helps very much.
Make your own decision, but personally, I hope I made a little difference in that decision.
