I have an extremely hard time believing that God would want such ritualistic worship. What do you learn about God’s love by spouting off some memorized prayer script 5 times a day.
But I'm gonna jump in here and -- apart from Islam--- defend repetitive prayers per se, as long as they are true prayers to the true God.
It says in Revelation 4:8
"Day and night they [angels in heaven]never stop, saying unceasingly, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God, the Almighty, who was, who is, and who is to come."
Repetitive, God-pleasing and heavenly.
