I was going to let this slide but I just cant. This is such a terrible tweet. Do the contents of a mind matter or only the aesthetic form of the pose of the body? Are there differences between "prayer" and "mindfulness meditation"? Do those differences matter?https://twitter.com/primalpoly/status/1234507142230503425 …

https://twitter.com/AubreyGilleran/status/1234510160145657857 … Ask him? I also study religion deeply as well but do you think my questions were wrong? Do you think there is a difference? You called prayer "a form" of the other thing. What are the differences that make it not an "equivalence"?

my view: Christian prayer as is being pointed out by many of the comments to you is about ceding control and trusting a process bigger than your human intellect to guide you (philosophical pessimism) )1/2

For sure. I put my conception of it in a tweet above this one. I was thinking of the more central purposes of it as well.

As a former Christian I can from experience say prayer of this sort is in large measure petitioning for outside intervention. When done earnestly this entails the acceptance that one lacks capacity to do so independently. To have faith is to lean on god, which is defeatist.

As a former Evangelical Christian, I can attest that Jay is spot-on.
