Iris Dement has a song: That Was the Night I Learned How Not to Pray. It is about a sister who watched her baby brother fall down a flight of stairs. She gets down on her knees and prays. Her baby brother ultimately dies. The chorus ends with That’s the night I learned how not to pray. So, did she learn not to pray, or not to pray for supernatural events? The song leaves it open to your interpretation.
