they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the
streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, they
have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet,
and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in
secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions as the heathen do; for they
think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. But not ye
therefore like unto them; for your Father knowest what things ye have
need of, before ye ask him."


Andy comments:

Thanks for posting that quote, Rump....... That pretty much says
it all.....
I wonder who put it in the bible, and if he did so in a conspicuous
manner,
using bell, book, and candle.... (grin)
It's hard to believe that some of the church leaders bother to
read it.....
since it greatly diminishes the power, and the need, of organized
religions....

Well, as Pat Condell said in one of his diatribes, the Bible
and the Koran are full of things both good or evil, so that
whatever you want to find when you open the books, that's
what you'll probably find.
