[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm an atheist. If someone invited to dinner wants to say a quick prayer before their meal, they are welcome to. I would appreciate a heads up, so that I can let everyone know that Suzy would like to say a prayer, and could we all be quiet before starting dinner. If out at a restaurant, I would refrain from eating while they said their prayer.

This is not onerous. I don't see what the problem is with letting someone go ahead with their prayer. It's not like it's harming anyone.[/quote]

So the people of different beliefs should not be respected?  Why can’t the person with the belief pray quietly, and be thankful to their God quietly?  Then everybody can deal with it on their own terms in accordance with their own beliefs.

I mean this example in a public place with a mixed group, not in a private home.[/quote]

Their being thankful for their meal is not disrespecting you unless you just hate Christians... [/quote]

So there are ONLY two options then: being a christian or hating them?

Other belief systems need not apply?

See, the problem is NOT that you want to pray at a meal in a public restaurant.  The problem is that you demand everyone with you do so also.

If you don't see how that is disrespectful, then there is no use in having this discussion with you.[/quote]
