I was raised Southern Baptist and it was drilled into me from a very early age that prayer is a personal communication with “God.” You can do that anywhere, anytime and without anyone’s approval or even anyone’s knowledge that you’re doing it. Why so sensitive, *snowflake*? Is it because you can’t force your placebo down everyone else’s throat? Is it a distraction from the widely known fact that your orange “savior” was besties with a convicted pedophile? All of the above?

Matthew 6:6
King James Version
6 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.
