Usually the only time I'm calling out god's name is when I'm on my knees with my butt in the air ... but that's probably not what you mean. :)
Go ahead, give me thumbs-down. I can take it.

That's actually a very smart, interesting question. Some people might not get the real meaning of the question, but u are talking about 2 different religions here and how they pray. To be honest, it doesn't matter how u pray as long as u do. Some Christians bow their heads down on the floor, leaving their butt in the air, or sit on their knees and pray. There's no better form. U can be driving and still pray, u can be flying in the air and pray. The point is who are you praying for? who do u believe in? Are u washed by the blood of Jesus?

Goodness, are you talking prayer or sex?
You can pray standing on your head, the main thing is to do so in a way that fulfills you personally and makes you feel connected to a higher power.
As for me, I often pray standing up and with my arms folded across my chest. Not typical, but it works.

I find it humorous when a few people do it with their butts in the air out of randomness but I'd get tired of it eventually if everyone did it.

* the Bible never tells us to pray with butts in the air... rather it tells us, as much as we can, to pray on our knees... it is also a sign of our humbleness to God... there is a correct position of praying according to the Bible, and it is, as much as we can, to pray on our knees...
"O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker."
Psalms 95:6
* praying on our knees and bowing down our heads... Jesus even set an example for this position...
"And he went forward a little, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass away from me: nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt."
Matthew 26:39
* there are precautions, however... things we should not do in praying...
"And when ye pray, ye shall not be as the hypocrites: for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have received their reward."
Matthew 6:5
* we should not pray standing and we should not pray where we could be seen by anyone... we should pray as meek as possible... so we must not pray standing up... and we should not broadcast our prayer, we should pray in secret...
* in certain circumstances where we cannot pray on our knees, our alternative is to stand up...
"And whensoever ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have aught against any one; that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses."
Mark 11:25
* but as much as possible, we should learn to pray on our knees, it is according to the teachings of Jesus in the Bible... :)

Humble yourself in the sight of the Lord and He shall lift you up.
It is written, "Those who worship God, worship God in Spirit & Truth." anywhere, anytime, 24/7. That is for those sealed with the Holy Spirit. Those born of God.

I think it's best to pray however it feels most natural to you. It is what is in your heart and spirit that is most important.

Neither, don't pray, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. Praying is a waste of time, while your raying you could actually be trying to make a difference, its precious time wasted.
