[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess I don't see why it's a problem to say grace before a meal.  It's not an exclusively Catholic thing.  Many religions or even some non-religious folks give thanks to some higher power for the gift of the food.  Even if you are just thanking the Earth for its bounty.  So I do not see grace before a meal as overtly prosthelytizing.    [/quote]

It's annoying.  We don't do it and I personally don't want my kids exposed to this.[/quote]

Sometimes, adults have to deal with things that annoy them.  And it's not violence, or porn, or whatever else you wouldn't want a small child to be exposed to.  It's saying grace.  If you can't explain to your kids that other people have different beliefs and that that's fine, then you have a big problem.[/quote]

Not in my house I don't.  It's saying grace to, in my belief, an imaginary friend.  I don't want my kid believing in that and I don't want it in my house.  End of story.[/quote]

Are your kids not allowed to have any imaginary friends or play pretend?  Of course it's your house.  That's why you're expected to be gracious.  If you want to be a petty drama queen, that's your prerogative.  You're only going to demean yourself in the process.[/quote]
