Ahhhh MC, no disrespect to you,but to those of us that do believe in a deity of some sort, prayer is whatever we make it to be, it is my belief that we decide what is a prayer and what isn't, it's an individual choice and decision. Who am I to say how another person should pray or not.

I could call a rose a daisy, too, but that wouldn't make it so. Tossing a quarter to a homeless guy isn't praying.

I can see that you do not understand the concept of free will, the freedom to worship the Creator in whatever manner that is right for you or me whichever the case may be. As I said before I do not believe in any sacred book that was written by man and that includes your Qur"an or even the Christian sacred book or any supposedly sacred book written by man. These are man's words and opinions and are subject to all the fallacies of humankind. I need no references to believe in my Creator. Your religion is but an infant compared to my belief, yours is only 1500 years old, Christianity is but 2000 years old and Judaism is but 4000 years old, my belief is over 100,000 years old and it is written upon our hearts and spirit, I need no written word to pray to my Creator.
the religion without a true reference is like a city without police and without court and without laws.

it is a mess.
our laws and customs are separate from our belief, we do not mix the two together and it has been that way for over 100,000 years. Like I said before, your religion is but an infant and like an infant you have much to learn.

I don't have the kind of proof that you would understand, understand I am talking about a spiritual belief, not something that's written down in any book, my proof is in my spirit and my heart, it is the spiritual belief of my ancestors that has come down through the generations for hundreds of thousands of years, this is something that I was born with and have always known.
