The funny reason you should always close your eyes while every1 is praying is because 2 Angels are fighting over u. 1 of dem is a white angel and d other is a black or well u can call it any name.
And if u dont close your eyes, d spiritual blow can hit and disstabilise ur destiny....

Tell ur kids dis and scare dem 4 life:::heheheee

Kids these days that are sharper than two edged sword, forget it, that is when they will even open the eyes more, then after prayers they would quiz you about y they couldnt see the angels, u will keep explaining rubbish and they will keep asking u intelligent questions, you will give up in shame. If it were the 70's and 80's babies, then it will work, not all these oversabis.
