Yeah for some reason Watkinson's fiance seemed weirder to me than Yang. She just seemed more crazyeyed/fanatical/ pod-person-ish to me. "No weapon formed against you shall prosper?" WTF?
But not sure why it bothers non-religious people so much. People pray to their god when they want something. That's pretty much why humans invented god in the first place. Doesn't matter if it's for a relative to be cured of cancer, for their team to win the Super Bowl, or for a 7 on the river in a poker game. All this talk about "praying while gambling is unseemly" is just silly. If you are religious and want something to happen, you pray. It's no different than a non-religious person rubbing their rabbit's foot or whatever.
