None... I'm not superstitious. 

 

Oh.. and why is most praying just begging in another guise?  Oh.. and how does this god character choose which one of the 10 athletres to favour? after all they are all lined up at the starting line indulging in some weird arm waving and sky gazing prayers.  

 

These are actually really good questions. Any intelligent person would be very dissatisfies if his belief system couldn't explain simple things like this.

Isn't praying just begging?

How do the entities that attain salvation get chosen?

Brilliant :)

If you are unsatisfied with what someone tells you then its your right to reject everything they say.

Hang on... did we just agree or am I missing some high level sarcasm?  

We most certainly agree. If your questions can't be answered, reject it. If you see some activity and it doesn't make sense (praying) then get to the core of what that activity means. If the meaning doesn't make sense, reject it.

The above things should be done in a sober manner though. I don't think anyone who goes around and decries everything will ever find wisdom.
