There is nothing stupid in praying to all and sundry- natural elements, animals, etc. Praying is an expression of thanks to the natural forces that sustain us and that we exploit for oil, water, soil, etc for our day to day sustenance. Praying makes us realize that we need to give back to the nature. Likewise it teaches us to be kind to animals as they also have God within themselves just like each one of us. Our religion teaches us to respect all life forms, forces and religions. Your does not. Yor's requires you to kill and torture.
