... the world proves you wrong. Thanks to TechCrunch for the pointer to Information Age Prayer, a new online service that uses text-to-speech technology to say your prayers for you on a regular basis.

No, I'm not kidding. Far as I can tell, this thing is serious. (Possibly fraudulent -- I can't really see how to check that they're really doing this -- but serious.)

They even have specials! For instance, the Complete Jewish Discount Package, including "Morning and Evening Shema, 5 Get Well Prayers and a Prayer for Peace, only $25.95 each Month". Such a bargain!

Makes as much sense to me as endowing a chantry.
I had an immediate flash to Clarke's "Nine Billion Names of God," in which a computer was just cranking out the title names, more or less, not actually reciting prayers, but it's related.
