[MarkBsnr]

I pray hundreds of times each day, and have never prayed to any but to the Father as Jesus instructed, in his name

Hundreds of times per day and only to the Father? Let's see; assuming that you take 8 hours for sleep and assuming 200 per day (hundreds, remember), that leaves us with 12.5 prayers per hour (minimum), or, a prayer every five minutes. For your entire waking existence.

With claims like this, no wonder you're not Christian. Have you graduated from the Dr. Eckleburg School of Exaggerated Counting?

You forgot "freaking".

I'm getting very uncomfortable with how everyone is writing everyone else out and off. I realize some of it is polemical/rhetorical, but it's still disturbing.

Some days that about pins it down; some others more like 10-15 minutes.

It’s no more exaggerated than claiming that the Bible in it’s entirety is read each day at mass.

Apparently you're not much into praying to God...Not a Catholic thing I guess...

Some folks pray once per day...They start when they get up in the morning and say Amen when they lay their head on their pillow that night...Guess that seems kind of foolish to you...
