1. It ought not to be legal, in my opinion.

 
And even if legal, this sort of public praying shouldn't be happening.

2. They love to ignore what Jesus actually said, i.e.:

 
"When you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others ... When you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray ... in secret." Matthew 6: 5-6.

7. humm.. i find it hard to believe that it is legal,, but...

 
Is it always a christian prayer?

Quote
Star Member yeoman6987 (13,385 posts)
8. Typically a Christian chaplain says the prayers

 
I'm sure rabbis and Iman do to but there are so few of them in the military.

12. I've been to many home games in Annapolis and I never saw a prayer said

 
However, I never attended an army navy game so not sure if this unique to just this annual game.

5. Army had a gaggle of helicopters fly over.

 
Navy had some jets. I though the navy had ships.
Why didn't they have an air craft carrier?

13. Are football games Government events?

 
Is the game occurring on Government property?

Liberals disgust me. (Now I don't have to remember to put it on each post).

Because only the left goes searching for that which is not there in a desperate attempt to be offended about something.

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Many people do not see evil until the gas is flowing into the chamber. That is why they get on the trains in the first place.

Wait until they find out that the military has chapels, and that many non-religious TRAINING events take place in them.

Every Sunday morning, there are religious services on the radio and TV.  They are also exercising their first amendment rights.  Idiot.

You see, I don't care you how feel.  I really don't.  More importantly, neither does anyone else.  Only about 200 people on a planet of 7 billion actually care about your feelings, and that's if you're lucky.  The sooner you grasp this lesson, the better off you will be.  And since almost no one gives a damn what you do, say, think, or feel, appealing to your feelings when you encounter differences of opinion is not only illogical, but useless.

If they had just had a muslim laid out on a prayer rug facing mecca,  then star member pagina would have been doing back flips in orgasmatic glee rather than getting a full case of butt hurt because he saw a "Xian" praying.

Typical anti- Christian bigotry.
They won't be happy until every public expression involving the Christian faith, including a church/ worship service, is a full felony.
Fortunately, not even Obama was stupid enough or bigoted enough to do that.

Wow! How many minutes did it take you to figure out how to use an online concordance and then find that verse? Stoooooopid question time, multiple choice style. Did DU-member malchickiwick:

A.) Unknowingly used this verse out of context;

B.) Knowingly ripped this verse out of context in order to misapply it;

C. Discovered the existence of the verse a few minutes before posting it without bothering to read it in context and understand the point Jesus was trying to make.

I'm only 33% caffeinated and in a good mood, so I'll go with choice "A.)". Using a verse from the Bible (or the Qur'an, or ______) out of context tends to result in absurdity. Does this DU-member (and those who approved of his/her post) really believe that 2000 years of public prayers by priests, pastors, elders, etc., in church services were done in ignorance and violation of this Scripture? Does this DU-member really believe Jesus was in this verse condemning the public prayers in synagogues and the temple?

As the old saying goes, "A text out of context is a pretext." Jesus in this section of the Sermon on the Mount was condemning those who make a public show of their religiosity - e.g. making a show of charitable giving and praying loudly in public places -  to impress people around them. There is room for discussion of the appropriateness of this pre-game public prayer, obviously, but this verse would be a red herring in such a discussion.

Not that DU-folk care. They would be fine with a Hindu or Muslim prayer. Some would be OK with a Jewish prayer - but not with DU's closet-with-an-open-door Joooooooo-Haters. It's the Christian part they hate.

 ::) Yeah, right. ::) Persecutors have tried to wipe out Christianity for nearly 20 centuries. Philosophers (a word of ironic etymology) have striven just as long to dissuade, confuse, and ridicule Christians into the philosophers' disbelief.

stopbush is only fooling himself (or herself, as the case may be). "Soft" persecution has taken root in EuroLand, and is being sown and cultivated here in the US, and I'm guessing stopbush is impatient at its slow progress. It could be reversed,or it could grow stronger. I'm not suggesting Christians are or would be thrown to lions or executed by gladiators in arenas (throwing religious people in mental hospitals and drugging them up was done in the USSR, though). But Christians are being marginalized, and being forced to choose between violating their beliefs or being driven out of their chosen professions. And a Jew wearing a yarmulke and walking alone across a commons area in many public and private universities would be risking attack by Jew-Haters.

Back to my point, people like stopbush will learn that the harder they squeeze Christians, the more ardent we get, and the more we escape between their fingers. That's another 2000-year-old, oft-repeated, lesson stopbush and his/her ilk refuse to learn.

It's a safe bet to assume at least 95% of DU members are atheist to enhance their pseudo-intellectual cred if anything.

The fact they get so twisted up in prayer to a deity they do not believe exists is proof to me of an Almight God. It id also further proof of their allegiance to evil.

Yeah, but tell them there is no global warming and that climate change is known in sane circles as "weather", and watch 'em explode.
