I actually prayed today. I was starving and stopped at a gas station and got some fried chicken. I prayed to the universe that I won’t die from food poisoning!!! Wish me luck.
Christians ignore me bigtime on this one but the idea of praying over your food is exactly that. Think a minute. You live in an age of no refrigeration and food is older than you want it to be. You might thank your god for it but you also want it to be used for "the nourishment of your body." The simple translation is "Oh, god, don't let us be poisoned."
