re: #82 theheat

Hearing a 6 year take leave of their senses in prayer, to me, is extremely disturbing, particularly because they are only emulating behavior. The fact adults become so carried away with their prayer also disturbs me. It’s like a floor show of nuts that all caught the same disease. When dogs behave like this, they’re usually labeled rabid.

Call me old school, but I like my prayerful friends that behave quietly and sincerely when they pray, not like they’re auditioning for American Idol.

Er, this sort of praying is old school, and you can trace it back, in Christianity to the 1st century church, and in many cultures to many rituals.

This is human nature, not rabies. For a matter of fact, would you say the same thing about many of the current world religions that have aesthetic praying as part of their ceremonies?
