More ancient religions than Christianity say prayers. Does that mean when Christians pray, they follow pagan practice? More ancient religions than Christianity kneel in worship.

Praying is a Judeo-Christian practice. Sprinkling with Holy Water is not of Judeo-Christian origin. It originates in pagan religious practice as the link says. Don't you read the links before answering???

I read 'em. And, as it happens, I tend to understand them. Judeo-Christian practice, huh? It's really funny how you support things when you support them, and how you dismiss things that you do not support.
