Why would a Muslim prayer be answered when you look at it from a Christian view? The prayer is addressed to the wrong god and should go unnoticed.

my point is that all their prayers are answered, and NO ONE is condemned to HELL yet because final judgement has not occurred, all souls are resting. The only sure fire way to get to hell is Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit, its the 1 UNFORGIVABLE SIN. Sure there are athiests out there but even them are not condemned to hell yet, all souls have a chance at retribution
And whoever insults a brother will be brought before the council, and whoever says ‘Fool’ will be sent to fiery hell” (Matthew 5:21-22)
Not really well versed on the New Testament or just distracted?

If god created us, we're all wheat. Even human free will can't change that fact.

Islam, Christianity and Judaism all encourage prayer. Billions of people have prayed to their respective god and claim to have received devine help. How so?

So, are Muslims fabricating stories about answered prayers? The same goes in reverse for Christians. From a Muslim point of view Christian prayers can't possibly work. The believers must be lying about the results.

My questions is:
a) Are all religious believers making up stuff. Any prayer goes unnoticed?
b) Are only ... prayers (insert your preferred belief system) answered?
c) God doesn't care what name you use, and helps out anyway.
And in answer c lies the conspiracy aspect. If c is true, all "exclusivity" of religious texts is a fairy tales.
