I think that counts for women too, don’t you?

I do, but where does it say that we are to pray to Madonna, i thought it says for us to pray to god in the name of Jesus.

[Mrs. Don-o]

Yes, but you and I pray for each other all the time. I hope.

I think most of the confusion here comes from the misunderstanding of the word "pray." Its earlier, legitimate meaning, still used by the Church, is to "implore" or ask." Shakespeare uses it this way all the time ("I pray you, do not fall in love with me") and the U.S. judges and lawyers still use it this way ("Therefore the petitioner now prays this honorable Court...")

In this sense, you "pray" to another person every time you ask the waitress for a cup of coffee. Though where in the Bible does it say you can pray to waitresses?
