No, i dont feel like praying to people who (i feel personally) dont exist. (....i dont see the gods as actual people....Just thought personafied. Ways to explain what we cannot on our own.)

I direct my prayers to God (the Abrahamic God, our Father in Heaven). I don't pray to Jesus, but I do pray in His Name, or through Him since I believe He is our mediator with the Father.

I pray because it's my means of communication with God. It's the way I can talk to Him, thank Him for the many ways in which He has blessed me and ask for His continued help.

I stupidly left off the option for those who don't pray at all; I guess that'll have to fall under Other. Sorry about that.

I pray to the Trinity, angels, and saints. I have a qualification, though. Prayer to angels and saints is more asking them to beseech God to do something, and if they act to help me, it is only by His power.

God, non-trinitarian. That's it.

Well I chose Trinity only for exactly this reason. I might ask the angels and saints to pray for me, which is what we commonly call praying to them, but that is not the same as praing to the Triune God.

The Trinity also. God and Jesus. There might be more Gods, but they're the CEO'S of heaven. The one's you sign your check.
