I think it is because so many people attribute good things that happen to "god's will". There's no logic that indicates that it shouldn't work both ways. If god is not responsible when bad things happen to people, then he is not responsible when good things happen, either. So, what is he responsible for? What is the goal of prayer?
Why does god only answer prayers for which there is a statistical chance that the outcome would have occurred anyway? Why does god cure someone's cancer, but not a severed spinal cord? Or an amputated limb? Why does prayer never result in something occurring that we know to be impossible?
