pray Hello everyone
I'd like to ask about the meaning of the word 'pray' in the following context.
"I really wished I believed in God right now," Gallaher said.
Vega finished putting his GD4 together and stowed it under his bunk. "Why?"
"So I could pray to somebody that Boyle's talking out of his arse."
As I understand, the second part of the sentence means that Boyle's saying stupid things. But the meaning of the first part is somewhat unclear to me.

Re: pray Basically, so that he can ask God to confirm that Boyle is saying stupid things.
