I know it drives me nuts when they point to the sky when they score or kneel on the ground. such a bunch of bollocks
I thought the whole god shtick meant that he was all powerful and all knowing, so he should be able to grant all prayers at all times. That said, he either isn't listening, isn't capable or just doesn't give a fuck but most likely he just isn't - period - full stop.
Probably not much point praying to an all knowing being either thought right. ?
