    Serious question here, no jokers, I want to know what is the proper way & time to pray to God.

    The bible tells us that Jesus got up very early in the morning while it was still dark, to pray.  I think it says that he prayed faced down on the floor.

    So why do Catholics kneel, Muslims go all the way down on the floor, and christians (wms?) stand up to pray.  Does it not show God more respect when we kneel before him to pray? or would that be consider Idolatry, even if there is no image or statue in front of you.

    If we pray standing up is it not like us standing up to God, instead of humbling ourselves before him?

    How do we know exactly what time is prayer time, like the WMS, has 3 prayers on Sabbath, the Middle East hear sort of  a  trumpet sound and all the men get down on the floor and pray, and Catholics have bells ringing on sunday morning mass.

    Is there a proper way to do it,  or can we do however we want, as long as we do it.
