[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm opposed to this type of thing. I was at a seminar for work, and at the lunch, someone gave a benediction thanking Jesus for the food. [b]We were asked to bow our heads at the start of his little spiel, [/b]and when he got to the Jesus Christ part, I felt manipulated into participating in a Christian prayer that is antithetical to my beliefs.

Your situation is different than hers. Read before making a comment.

Are you a Christian?[/quote]

You are an adult.

You did not have to bow your head. You could have sat quietly and daydreamed about remodeling your bathroom.

The point is that I did not imagine that in a non-sectarian workplace lunch, with all different religions represented, that I was bowing my head to Jesus IN ADVANCE. I thought it was going to be a very generic, inclusive "prayer" - not one for Christians only.

It is WRONG to sanction one religion over another in a workplace setting. [/quote]
