How loud do you have to pray so that god hears you?
So I was in the middle of this 18 hour flight, with my earplugs in, dozing. There were only two things I could hear. An unhappy baby, who can blame him.... and this guy.... 
Well not this guy specifically, but I guy dressed just like this. He was praying. He would mutter to himself for several minutes and then call loudly some phrase, then mutter. It took me over a half an hour to isolate the practitioner. He didn't do it for the whole 18 hours, just periodically, when he was awake.
I had a lot of time to ponder this. When in an enclosed place for 18 hours where people are sleeping, you don't make noise. It's rude, and I think there's something in every religion that says something like, "thou shall not be rude". On a side note, if god can hear you muttering, then there's no need to call out, stifle yourself because you're basically yelling at him... and you wouldn't want to make him angry, you wouldn't like him when he's angry.

At the very least, I hope the guy was praying that the plane did not fall out of the sky.
