I don't think he prays, per se. He has major problems
with organized religion, and sees the Bible as tainted
by 2000 years of Catholic politics. He does have
Faith, perhaps in a slightly agnostic way. I'd say he
more like communes, and it's something done while
walking in the forest around where he spent summers as
a boy.
Please, please pleaaaaase no one take offense at this,
it's simply my father's views as I understand them.
I'm only answering Ronn's question.
