Ok he said all that. So what?

It's just another baseless empty assertion. He prays one way, and other pray another.

Again, so what?

Well...it gives you a perspective on how one billion people in another part of the world think and live.

Better than living in a cocoon all your life ...right?!!

For me not really as neither mean anything to me.

Comparing one form of woo with another has little impact for me.

Not sure what you mean by cocoon.

I am a sceptic and like to be persuaded by evidence and reason. Woo has no impact

Prayer is a two way conversation and each has it's merit according to prayer and person/God hearing them.
As Jesus taught the disciples how to pray then prayers is for all who follow and want to know the truth about God and how to be in a relationship with him.
God is the person who answers the prayers and all prayers make a difference in the persons life. It is a starting point for all man needs.

No, I think you're looking at this as offering him a different cocoon is a gift, whereas he doesn't feel a need to constrain himself to a cocoon at all....
