[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's what I don't get: you say that he usurped your role as host because it was your job to offer a prayer. Well, you DIDN'T and weren't going to. So it seems like you are just mad that there was a prayer at all, rather than the hosting thing. I still find it so strange that anyone finds a pre-dinner prayer weird or offensive. I imagine this is common in many religions besides Christianity, too. [/quote]

Since you don't "get" it, I'll explain it slowly to you: when you, as a dinner guest in someone else's home, hijack the table for your preferred religious/social ritual, you are being a boorish piece of shit--regardless of what your preferred religious/social ritual might be.

If you want to compel your table-mates to hold hands and say a Christian prayer, ask your host first.

This kind of behavior is arrogant, reeks of "assumed privilege", and is also deeply un-Christian. I'll assume your FIL is a right-wing Christianist type, given that they tend to care less about actually following the example of Christ rather than about impressing "libtards and Jews" with their ostentatious religiosity.[/quote]
