I've never seen a Freerepublic thread where everyone was wrong before. The answer is teh Jews have someone pray the Jewish way, the Christians have someone pray the Christian way and the liberals have someone stand up and go on and on about peace on earth and we all have to listen to each other. That's pluralism. Censoring someone's prayer is NOT ACCEPTABLE!

Rippin, this is not directed to you, youve been the most reasonable of all the comments I've read most of this thread. Now I'll comment and leave. I was raised in an area where my religion was in the minority. I attended many functions where prayers were said that were different from my prayers. I learned early to just say my prayers to myself while others (the majority) said their prayers outloud. It seemed to work just fine. I never felt victimized and had a good life. I recommend keeping your mouth shut when you are in the minority religously speaking. And while your mouth is closed use the time to pray to your God, Higher Power, whatever, then try to get along with your fellow man like DECENT CIVILIZED PEOPLE SHOULD!
