By the way, does praying include when I speak to my girlfriend on my cell phone?

If your girlfried is still breathing, no it isn't praying.

I assume that you believe in soul sleep? You believe that the dead do not have ETERNAL LIFE in Christ (being believers of course)???????

Soul sleep is the doctrine of Jehovah's Witnesses and other heretical cults.
