It's not my habit to pray over meals but I might just do it if I knew a DUmmie was nearby. Why? Because it annoys the hell out of them as you can see in this THREAD, "I hate when people pray over their food aloud in public." And I LOVE it when DUmmies are annoyed. So let us now watch the DUmmies vent their annoyance over public prayer before meals in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, who now remembers quickly voicing thanks recently to Divine Providence for making 3 packages of pre-cooked bacon available for FREE via coupons before munching them down, is in the [brackets]:
I hate when people pray over their food aloud in public
[I enjoy when DUmmies are annoyed by people praying over their food aloud in public.]
Sitting in Starbucks, this couple sits down next toe with their bagel and coffee and hold hands across the table and start praying quite loudly to their God for their fine mid morning snack. Ugh!!
[THEIR God? And WHO is your God? Gaia? Princess Wicca?]
I get it. You love your God. But supposedly he can hear your silent prayers too. Don't under estimate the magical powers of your God.
[Princess Wicca has the power to make you win at Bingo after your Wednesday night oak worship services.]
And if you were trying to "bear witness" to your faith...it had opposite of the intended effect.
[It had the effect of pissing you off and ruining your meal. Good enough for me.]
And if you were trying to "bear witness" to your faith...it had opposite of the intended effect.
[Beautiful. A DUmmie coffee break completely ruined. Now on to your fellow annoyed DUmmies...]
People who pray aloud in public are doing it to be attention whores.
[Posted a DUmmie Drama Queen.]
I know a family of three, all of whom stop what they are doing five times a day, kneel, and pray. And they always face the same direction.
[And I bet you won't risk a beheading by criticizing them in person.]
So the Dalai Lama is up to no good apparently because he is always going on and on about compassion and buddhism and wearing those goddamn robes. Yeah, definitely can't trust that guy. Or his rapist glasses.
[Hello Dalai!]
Why should you care? It's not like there's a talking ban in Starbucks. Is every family that's having a conversation a threat to your peace?
[LOUSY FREEPER TROLL!!!]
We-are-sick-of-it. Fed up. SO...it's NOT really because they prayed at a coffee house...It's because these same people will probably cause some Woman to have a back-ally abortion.
[On Ally Sheedy's back?]
They are thanking God for an extremely overpriced bagel and coffee?
[LOL! BTW, I can get that Starbucks stuff FREE via coupons. Usually I just opt for their ice cream which is better than their coffee.]
I come from Southern Baptist too. They all pray for my soul and I just smile and go on. Glad they care and I won't engage them. Now if they were hogtying me, that's a different story.
[Have no fear. Only LCMS Lutherans will do that while tickling your feet.]
I've prayed a few times in restaurants because the food tasted funny after a few bites. "Dear Lord, I hope I'm not going to be sick from this shit"
[It sounds like you were in a Vegan restaurant.]
Lighten up, Francis. As long as they were not trying to baptize you with their chai latte or make you eat a live chicken on your bagel, I say give it a rest.
[How about if they make him eat a live bagel on his chicken?]
I don't mind a bit in a food court when the occupants of the next table join hands to mumble over their food.
[Judge Debra Nelson of that food court would rule them out of order.]
DUers are always wrong it seems
HERE is your basic LFT.
Amazing number of sensible posts on this from the other DUmmies.
Yes, I was going to comment on that as well.
I have to give them credit on this topic - only the original poster was a whiney pain in the ass.
which is a wonder
Sounds like one of those knotheads who sits around all day waiting to be offended about something, anything....
I suspect these stories are somewhat exaggerated, but they’ll always find something to complain about.
The DUmmie should swing by a local church and mention this to a pastor. Especially after a service.
I’ve gotten into the habit of praying silently when I’m eating by myself. I wonder if a DUmmie would get upset at that?
And “Hail Satan”? That’s not meant to be attention whoring?
Ocean Spray Cranberry juice makes a fabulous wine, and the wine from the white cranberry juice is to die for!!!
So this really gets under their skin, huh... thanks, that was easy. Look for me in your favorite Starbucks, holding a High Latin mass.
Huh? How do you make wine from already bottled cranberry juice?
It's a new flavor and it is INCREDIBLE. Actually my FAVORITE!!!
Awesome!
The same way you make it out of home canned juice.
I thought that once any juice is bottled that you can’t really do fermentation out of it. Like Welch’s grape juice was designed to NOT ferment.
Drinking the Cran-Lemonade RIGHT NOW. Much better than any regular lemonade I ever had. Possibly the BEST fruit juice I ever had.
I’ve never tried it with Welch’s in a bottle, only frozen concentrate. But I’ve had great success with the “no sugar added” bottled juices, although I’ve never tried bottled grape. I’ve done apple, blueberry, peach, both red and white cranberry, and one other tat I don’t remember off the top of my head.
