I never go near people who are praying because I can telepathically hear what they are praying for, and most of it, to me, can be disgusting:

--for instant money, such as by winning in a contest or at a lottery
--for a married man or woman to fall in love with them
--for other people to have crushes on them or desire them
--for a car, an appliance, or an electronic device
--for being lucky in gambling
--for luxurious travel
--for revenge
--for the people they hate to be defeated
--for not being caught when cheating
--et cetera

We are taught that prayer is spiritual and that we should shun material things. When people combine the two, don't they somehow short-circuit within themselves?
