hey, I appologized for hyjacking your thread!
I will say this. I honestly think the corporate require prayer 5 times a day is not a good thing at all.
it bends the will of the people to conform to a pulic show that allows the religious leaders utter control over the people. it is in my mind as pernicious as NOT praying at all.
do I think there is a takeaway from seeing the devotion if muslims in their disipline of prayer? sure. But is it a disipline or is it a requird peer pressure vice that keeps the masses under the thumb of the Theocracy? I think it is the later.
Yes we should pray daily. No, it is not enough to "try to be prayerful" in our minds constantly. That simply is an excuse for not having real communication with God.
