Look, I love you, Gondy - you're one of my favorite posters, so I'm just going to allow you to be wrong on this, and still treat you as a friend.

Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. 3 But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4 so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
5 “And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. 6 But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
7 “And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard for their many words. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.1Cor 15:34 Come to your senses as you ought and stop sinning; for I say to your shame, there are some who know not God.

Look, I get it, it's hard for many of today's Christians to do anything other than be performative in their prayer to make themselves look better than others including other Christians. It's an addiction related to the persecution complex most of them have. It's the age of social media. The rest of us get it.
