Maybe theres no connection whatsoever, but it does seem a bit weird to me.
I heard that god likes to smite people that pray (he hates the whining).
I've heard that God smites cowards that abuse authority.
Dunno, need to have a Christian verify this.
I'm pretty sure that praying in the game gives the exact same benefits as praying irl.
Take that however you please.
As someone who prays in real life, I can tell you then that praying does in fact increase the odds of useful things happening to or for you, but when you become too effective at praying, the adversary(a "theoretical game character") or his entities will come out to attack you.
I know that praying works in real life. I'm not sure what it does in the game.
