Gods need prayers badly

This idea has been around for a long time.

The novel American Gods explores this concept rather interestingly where the Old Gods are replaced by Nouveau-Old Golds, and are fighting against the New Gods (i.e the Internet)

It addition to it being used in American Gods, Supernatural uses a similar concept.

The tv series happens to be coming on tonight too.

There are many inhabited worlds. Ours is corrupted by lucifer. Eventually good will overcome, but it will take generations. Admittance of purified souls to heaven adds to God's strength.

Prayer is used to speak to your ego and help you divine your religious philosophy further. It's useful in goal alignment. It is not required, Jesus lived his life in perpetual prayer, but it was not done openly. He just truly loved God.

The book series The Elerium and The Talmuri by David Eddings also has gods that work on this principle.

so would you say if you were to give a mere average human being and feed it with hundreds, if not thousands of "prayers" from other people, at the same time, would it have an effect on him? If not a tangible one, maybe a boost in his karma or something?

so basically god is a tulpa created by mans imagination and if man quits thinking god exists then eventually god doesn't exist.
tl:dr - god is your imaginary friend

That would explain why 99% of the "sightings" of beings like the Holy Mary, Jesus Christ and others are from extreme believers. The kind that would pray 2-3 times a day, go to church every Sunday and attend every possible religious event. They are so fixated on the matter that they literally impose their god tulpa (althuogh briefly) and that boosts their confidence even more. it's kind of fascinating in fact.
