[quote=Anonymous][quote]Do you also think it's disrespectful when you're at a funeral in church, and the pastor or minister asks the assembled people to kneel for prayer, and some people remain seated? Or when you're at a public event, and a religious leader says, "Let's bow our heads", but some people don't bow their heads?[/quote] I usually don't look around to see who is not bowing their head. Why? Because I am conforming. People do not kneel in my church, but, if attending another church, and asked to kneel, I kneel. It is the respectful thing to do. It is pretty obvious, when saying the pledge, who remains seated. I have attended events on a military post where there were foreign guests. A military parade, for example. When the pledge was said, the guests stood. They did not say the pledge. It is about respect. And, I have attended events when a foreign flag was flown--when people stand, I stand. Again, standing is not pledging. [/quote]
