Sure!
And we show our posteriors to the skies!
And we scream insanely "Yellahu Yuckbar"!!
And we circumcize all our men and women.
And we hang gays!
And stone women to death condemning them as prostitues!
And our Law says that a woman if she's raped needs four male witnesses to testify to that fact or she's flogged.
And we have four wives whom we beat the crap out of at the least provocation.
And we bomb people and fly planes into buildings!
God, didn't you know perverted we are?
Merry Christmas!!!!!

I pray a lot more than 5 times a day. I just do it quietly while no one is knowing about it and go about my daily business. For instance I have a friend who is going through a bad time right now. As I think of that friend, I say a prayer that God shows this person the wisdom to know what to do and I send that person encouragement on the internet (this person lives too far away for me to be there in person).
As Christians, we are asked to bear one another's burdens, so when I think about someone I say a prayer for them and their needs. I know that prayer works, not just coincidence, because of the way things work out so many times.

Some Christians pray a lot and other Christians never pray. I think if you were to live like Jesus according to the Bible, then you would pray a lot.
Personally, I don't believe in God and whenever I prayed as a Christian, I felt like I was talking to myself or the air.
It's much better to think for yourself and to come up with your own solutions than to cry to something that isn't there.

No, we are to pray continually, without ceasing. We are to pray by the Spirit. We are to pray God's will. We are to pray the prayer of faith, which means all true prayer originates from God Himself. He only accepts the prayers that He Himself has inspired. Thus no flesh can glory before Him, all is of Him.
We are talking about the most high and holy God, not some silly Father Christmas figure to which we can pour out vain and foolish rantings and long repetitions, as if by force of our own will we can work up an answer.
That also means that none others can pray until God brings them to life, which He declares is only possible through Jesus Christ.
If we are united to Christ, God's Son, by faith then we are forgiven our sin, accounted righteous and can pray to the Father through Him as sons, with love and intimacy, adoration and praise, discovering more of His goodness and provision, learning His will as He shows us, with intelligence and understanding as God draws us in to share His wonderful and supernatural life, His plans and purposes and His perfect ordering of things.
That means that the Muslims, that you appear to be referring to, are not actually praying, though they may imagine they are, whether five times a day or five times fifty, and whether they face north, south, east or west and no matter how high they stick their absurd backsides into the air. That is just their vain and foolish imaginings. Clearly they do not know God. Their false abasement shows that their sin is still on them, they are yet unforgiven and so there is no communion with a holy God.
Many may imagine they are praying, but God does not accept the prayer of the wicked, it is an abomination to Him.
God is not to be mocked.

Christians were told in the new testament to pray without ceasing. That, though is prolly more the ideal that the reason.
In uni it seems like a lot of prayers are going on...
Help me learn this stuff...Help me write this paper. Oh God, what is the answer to this question? And the best: Dear God, though I didn't take time to study, let me earn an a on this test.
P.S. God, please take away this hangover, and if shaggin is wrong, give me strength to w@nk instead...
Lots of prayers in the academic community these days!

Some do, some don't.
Most pray once a day at most, with many only praying on Sundays.

Unlike those that only pray 5 times a day, the Church is commanded to pray without ceasing.. Jim
1 Thessalonians 5:17-18
Pray without ceasing.
In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

Christians pray because they love God and seek His guidance or just to praise Him and glorify Him for all the good things He's done.
Doesn't matter if it's once a day or 100 times a day. God loves you anyway.

Christians should be in prayer all through the day.
(this does not mean every second we are required to pray),but rather to be in a "spirit" of prayer at all times.
