Prayer means meditation.

And yes, I did, though it came about unexpectedly.

I accidentally became a vegetarian once. Now I eat meat again but only a fraction of what I did before.

If by praying you mean sleeping, then yes, I am praying all weekend long.

Whats your take on Easter?
The use of supernaturalism to manipulate and control people is the world's oldest confidence scheme, it relies on the ritual abuse of children at their most impressionable stage by adults who have themselves been made childish for life by this primitive nonsense.

Easter is all about Mithra and pagan spring fertility rituals.  Smiley

I'll give you that one, but Christmas is...

Largely Mithra again. He was the template for much of what became Jesus. It is also similar to religious practices of the worship of  Ra "the sun god".  It is really about the shortest day of the year. Remember the Romans had a big empire and when they decided on Christianity they had a lot of beliefs to accommodate.

I pray to the gods and goddesses all the time for them to send me a web developer or to have Bitcoin used by a major chain.

Why?  Is this prayer day or something?
