Me too. I remember being told by a rather stuffy teacher that if you pointed your fingers to the sky, that the prayer would shoot up to heaven! If you interlaced your fingers it would 'bleughhh not go anywhere!'

I was raised Protestant, and there I was taught that the folded hands were to keep you from fidgeting.

I don't get the pointing at the heavens thing, I mean Jesus himself mentioned to basically be humble, not like those guys on the street corners making a bit show of praying.
