Christians have to close their eyes so they do not notice how stupid the congregation looks Just try and open your eyes during prayer and you will say to yourself, "damn, are we this stupid?" 1 Like 1 Share |

Its just to avoid distraction and make u connected to the one you're praying to, Opening your eyes will not really allow you to pour out your mind to God the way you want considering people you're looking at Opening your eyes while praying also brings divided mind and attention |
