Inspired by the "dominant thumb" thread.

This.

 

[Miramonti]

I didn't realize someone is supposed to be worrying about where to put their hands when praying

 

[CRXican]

prayer is silly

 

[Crusty]

Does not compute.

 

[Kyle]

havent prayed in years, but when I did, I don't think I did anything w/ my hands

 

[KeithTalent]

I see some people pray by making a fist of one hand and placing their other hand over top of the fist. Kind of like this.

Don't pray. Closest thing I do is silent contemplation and it's handless, which makes it superior.

 

[spidey07]

Fingers locked.

Are you sure they are not making a fist for another reason?

 

[effowe]

I don't pray, but if I'm sitting at rest sometimes I will interlock my fingers.

 

[OCGuy]

Im usually drunk, naked, and running along the freeway when I talk to myself. Not really sure where my hands are though...

 

[AstroManLuca]

Inside my bubble, it is a no-prayer zone.

 

[TruePaige]

You know Perky, if you do it YOUR way, you could stumble, fall on your upturned fingers, and put an eye out!

Closed hands are the way of the future!

I don't pray, which is why I'm in a thread asking how folks do!

Hmmm... I wonder how the other missing 0.01% prays...

Added a third response to the poll.

For the record, I seldom "pray" these days, but when I do "commune directly with the divine" these days it is simply and directly and not on my knees or with my hands in any specific position.

But I was a practicing Catholic and went to Catholic school through 5th grade, and when we prayed, it was with fingers upright and parallel. And yet, in that other referenced thread, it seemed like most used the fingers interlocked and folded position, which made me curious about how folks who pray did so. <shrug>

 

[SonnyDaze]

They're usually behind my back in cuffs when I feel the need to utter a prayer.

Maybe it's how we pray to the Canadian God up here! :laugh:

[Aberforth]

Well, I close my eyes and meditate for sometime.

When engaged in pointless narcissistic activities, what difference does it make what one is doing with his hands?

God as a Canadian. I am strangely enthralled by the propect.

Anyway, even amongst the short sample so far, the interlockers have it 4-1 (literally) and yet, as I mentioned in the other thread, the entire first page of Google images has it the way all three members of the Holy Trinity obviously intended.

And if there's one thing organized religion has taught me, it's idiot certainty!

This is almost exactly the comment I was about to make.
