Is it mostly we Christians who make you feel God is not on your side? I think God would be happy to have anyone acknowledge him, no matter how they perceived him to be or where they lived. However, I can't see him answering a prayer that was said to a rock, as God cannot lie and will not deceive and the real God would not want us thinking we could pray to this thing and get answers like magic.
Perhaps one common thread in all beliefs concerning God is that we have been created by some power greater than our own. We didn't just happen, and since there is such 100% complete order in the universe, that creator must be pretty perfect.
