I agree. I have heard people pray quietly. Even though I'm not with them I stop talking and bow my own head until they are done praying. I guess I'm a intolerant fundie rethug or something.

The world could use a few more intolerant fundies  :)

I have never encountered a Christian praying loudly in a public restaurant.

Maybe they were reading from the Amplified Bible:

Just how loud were they praying? It's one thing if they're shouting, it's another thing when they're just normally talking, or even whispering.

Something tells me that if we protest a bunch of Muzzies who want to have those hideous calls to prayer the DUmbasses would be calling us racists.

You know they would. They're lying, cowardly, hypocritical ****s who will take any position, regardless of how contradictory, to push their own political goals. And those goals almost always have to do solely with their own licentiousness and greed, no matter how noble they try to frame them.

I hate when people pray over their food aloud in public
Sitting in Starbucks, this couple sits down next toe with their bagel and coffee and hold hands across the table and start praying quite loudly to their God for their fine mid morning snack. Ugh!!

I get it. You love your God. But supposedly he can hear your silent prayers too. Don't under estimate the magical powers of your God.

And if you were trying to "bear witness" to your faith...it had opposite of the intended effect.

Yours truly, non religious agnostic just trying to enjoy his coffee and newspaper in peace.

Personally I do not care one way or the other dummie. I hate people who think they are so god awful important they have to talk on their cell phones in the grocery store line but I don't go on a board and bitch about it.

Now as for praying in public, I follow the bible on that. Don't know which passage it was now... it said to pray to God in private. To publicly display your... whatever the term was in that passage, can't remember... was not favorable in God's eye.

My 2 cents now dummy... if that is the only thing wrong in your world then if I was you I'd be thankful.

33. Sorry..That's not the point. The point is: A lot of people are sick and tired of extreme Christens

..constantly trying to force their views on life into our laws and bedroom and marriage and just about everything else.

We-are-sick-of-it. Fed up. SO...it's NOT really because they prayed at a coffee house...It's because these same people will probably cause some Woman to have a back-ally abortion.

Everything is about abortion with this BlueJazz primitive.  Hmmmmm....I must ponder.

323. Is there a difference between an offering of thanks for the meal and actual prayer, or communion, with whatever deity/belief system one has chosen? Reading about the Sermon on the Mount, thanks was given for the bread/fish.
 
If so, then the Matthew reference that so many get all quote-y over, does not apply to the meal reference but does to the the communion one.
 
The hypocrites mentioned in the Matthew reference are doing their 'praying' in an ostentatious manner, and that is what is being enjoined against.
 
Interestingly, Congress begins sessions with a prayer. I recall there being one from time to time at inauguration ceremonies. Perhaps a petition/email/letter writing campaign should begin forthwith.
 
But on the other hand, what does it hurt?

No one ever mentions the line about not hiding your light under a bushel, but put it on a stand so that all can see. Is it possible that this 'light' can be one's faith/belief? That's in Matthew also, but it doesn't get all quoted up in this kind of thread.
 
And FYI, I am a non-believer.

Blasphemer.

God doesn't put prohibitions on public prayer. He does, however, look down on it when it is done for the purposes of drawing attention to one's self in a showy display of piety. I point out that Jesus prayed in public several times in order to glorify God. He prayed aloud at the tomb of Lazarus:

And Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, "Father, I thank you that you have heard me.
I knew that you always hear me, but I said this on account of the people standing around, that they may believe that you sent me."

John 11:41b-42.

That was what I was talking about.  

Just to be clear there FlaGator I didn't mean that God meant that you couldn't pray in public. If that was true then there would be no funerals, Sunday services, etc.   :cheersmate: :cheersmate:
