Students at Union Theological Seminary prayed to a display of plants set up in the chapel of the school, prompting the institution to issue a statement explaining the practice as many on social media mocked them.
"Today in chapel, we confessed to plants," the nation's oldest independent seminary declared Tuesday on Twitter.

The spirit of antichrist at work in the Latter Days.
That would provide fertilizer for the trees. A very green thing to do.
I ate some asparagus and now my pee smells. But I didn’t get the farts.

I’m awful sorry, Mr. Cornstalk, but I’m going to cut you off above your roots, which I will allow to wither and die. Then I’ll cut off all your seed pods. Then I’ll take your seed and either roast it and then eat it or I’ll grind it into powder and then bake it and eat it. Nothing personal, though.
Assuming that this school prepares people for the UU brand of paganism.
When I see trees I see and smell furniture being made in my shop.
Assuming that ridiculous notion that plants are even sentient, why apologize to THESE plants?
These plants have been raised, fed and protected by humans. How were they. harmed? They should be thanking humans!
Its an act of pure narcissism by these freaks.
Not just any plant.
House plants.
I often pray that my corn will produce a really nice batch of ... fuel for my tractor, does that count?
How dare they imprison those plants in their homes, set them free!
