[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How sad. If you are offended then don't pray. Excuse yourself or stand there quietly. Someone saying grace has nothing to do with you or converting you to anything. If you pray before meals then you pray before meals. That doesn't change just because someone might get upset.

So walk away, step back, or just stand there looking dumb if it happens again. No one will care because it is not about you.[/quote]

I usually feel that people who have to make a big show out of saying grace, are usually doing it for the show.

LOOK AT ME!!!! I'M CHRISTIAN!!!  I AM SAYING GRACE!!!!

They are also the people who post on Facebook around this time.  ATTENTION!!!  I AM AT A SOUP KITCHEN!!!!!

Very rare do people say grace at every meal, those who do - do it quiet and don't need to make a big show.  It's not about me, it's about them.  It's about their day to day belief which isn't a December 25th thing.  It's a yearly 3 meals a day thing.[/quote]

Once again saying grace has nothing to do with what you think of it. If I say grace quietly its because I am by myself. [b]If I am with my family, then it will be aloud because I am not sending the message that its ok to say it as a family at home, but in public we should be afraid. [/b]

But if I am by myself or in mixed company I am still going to say grace. Even if its a business meeting. But I will do it quietly because I don't join hands in prayer when I don't know who the other person is praying to. It has nothing to do with you or anyone else. I pray before every meal.

At big family meals, that is what we do as well. If my son married someone who took offense, then I would give her the same advice- excuse yourself, step back, or stand there looking stupid.[/quote]

You have to have the opportunity to flaunt your religion and pray publicly or else you're being persecuted. This is why we need prayer back in public schools!! [/quote] I don't really understand the arrogance of some of you. You really think that people are sitting around thinking about how you feel and if you will notice them saying grace or not. That's very arrogant because for the last time, its not about you.

If I say grace at home, I am saying it in public. The word you are looking for is consistent not flaunting.[/quote]
