“Can you imagine praying 5 times a day every day .... “
I believe that repetitive act is part of the “brainwashing” that draws them further into their cult-like religion.
The Bible teaches against repetitive prayer.
I agree with your assumption.
I have said to my wife imagine belonging to a religion that requires you to lift dumbells 5 times a day. Every day of your life, and tells ou how many times and how much weight. .
Those adherants would be more muscular than the average person.
Praying 5 times a day focuses you on your religion.
Islam works that way with the mind. -Tom
