re: I really have no problem with the devout...
Gee Lafon, you write that those who are "repeating memorized prayers" are "morons".
The "devout" often repeat things. Indeed, monks of many religions do that for hours on end to achieve a higher state of consciousness and insight.
Many people standing all night in St. Peter's Square repeated prayers again and again for a dying pope the other night.
Are all of thes people "morons" too?
You are a sad little man.
