One would think that, of any group, believers would want to investigate and communicate the nature of prayer accurately. If a god told them to pray, because that god knew it had some use, then it's use as understood -must- be the use intended. OTOH, that's entirely too boring of a syncretism between belief and reality for most believers.
"I said not to eat babies boiled in their mothers milk, you fucking simpletons..but that didn't have shit to do with dairy!". The same would have to be true of prayer, if there were a god who recommended it. Unless, ofc, that god is also a simpleton. IMO..no matter how it's sliced or from which direction..every ounce of idiocy connected to prayer is entirely human idiocy.
