A post about NSPPD featured a man cautioning his partner to stop making loud early-morning prayers and constant status posts, suggesting they focus more on private family devotion. His concern sparked debate, with many weighing in on public versus personal expressions of faith.
One comment replied: “If you think that God is not hearing you, the next option is to shout. He must hear.”
This response is problematic because it promotes a misunderstanding of spirituality by implying that volume determines whether prayers are heard. It frames faith as performance rather than sincerity, reinforcing the idea that louder or more visible devotion is more effective. Such statements can unintentionally encourage disruptive behavior while overlooking the value many traditions place on humility, quiet reflection, and consideration for others. Constructive discussion would recognize that faith practices can be meaningful without needing to disturb those around.
