Do a Google search for "prayer wheels". You'll find your answer.
And look up "rosary" while you're at it. ;-)

Yea automated prayer. I do it all the time. When I pray what am I doing. Im thinking. Logically If prayers are thoughts than thoughts are prayers. I have negative and positive prayers. I hate calling them prayers. All thoughts are prayers as my friend parker said while he was alive now hes everywhere

No - prayer is not the recitation of words but rather speaking to God from the heart, and (very important) listening for the response.
Prayer is not just talking to God - it is conversation, and that requires both speaking and listening.
Automation is not part of either action.

According to Douglas Adams, yes.
One of the primary characters in a novel of his was an Electric Monk.

You bet it can. Christian robots believe automated prayer will "save"you.

Do you mean like the rosary of the Roman Catholics and the Cassette Tapes of the protestants.

Yes, the high church version is called "liturgy." It lacks spontaneity.
