[Manfred the Wonder Dawg]

Thanks for the correction. Matt 6:13. I do believe this is the FIRST time I’ve agreed with you.

That phrase being in the Bible is secondary to my main point of avoiding rote recitation as prayer.

That phrase being in the Bible is secondary to my main point . . .

Yes, and even if it was directly on point, it's better to just point it out than play gotcha.

[ rote recitation as prayer. ]

Rote prayer is what Buddhist(and others) do..
Rote mechanical prayer to a mechanical God in a mechanistic way promises a Robot like God.. Buddhists use prayer wheels to display prayers to the Robot God.. others use beads of various sorts.. for the same purpose..

Those open to obvious and others to occluded idolatry seem to have no problems with a Robot God.. and with rote(liturgical) and/or robotic prayer..
