[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of the ones I like to post all the time:

[i]But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.[/i]
Matthew 6:6[/quote]

Jesus spoke against the Pharisees. They would pray loudly in public places.

Jesus did not mean that it is wrong to pray with others, or that prayer must be done in private, [b]but the prayers should be sincere and for the right motives[/b].

Matthew 6:5–8 has nothing to do with whether we should pray in public or not. This passage is related to the reason we are praying. When Jesus contrasted praying publicly versus praying privately, He showed how we should not be selfish but selfless. We should be praying selflessly and glorifying God for His many blessings.

This thread and the thread about people who put that they “love the Lord” or “follow the Bible” on professional resumes (which many people have pointed out does NOT happen, op is making up false scenarios to whine about) are attempts by people who don’t like Christianity to silence Christians.

The people posting here are offended when Christians publicly express they are Christian.

They are offended and triggered by a facebook post.

Americans have freedom of religious expression and freedom to practice their religion however they choose.

If you don’t want people to have this freedom, or are offended or need advice from others as to why people are talking about their religion on social media or irl, you need to reflect on your intelligence, education, and your own understanding of our Constitution.

Our personal freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution are unique and important.

Do you disagree with our rights to free speech and the freedom to practice any religion we choose?

If you do, if those things offend you: It’s a you problem.

I'm a Christian and I doubt that some of the people posting these Bible verses are doing it for the right motives. Then PP's Bible verse quote is apt. Those Facebook posters would be behaving like Pharisees.
