So why mock standing, then? Are you suggesting that standing is an "improper" posture while praying?
It was Jesus who criticized the Phaisees for standing on the street corners and praying. Zeeba was just using the Lord's illustration. Were you not aware of the Lord's illustration?
But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly. And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. (Mat 6:3-6 KJV)
If you don't see the Protestants looking and acting all holy, then perhaps it is because they are admonished to do their good works so that they are NOT noticed by men.
