What is it that makes so many of you feel you need to push your beliefs down the throats of others? Jesus said treat others like you'd like them to treat you. I appreciate others not pushing their God down my throat, and so I don't do it to others. Show a little respect for others' rights to not have to suffer through your haranguing. So many people here sound like they expect to get brownie points from God because they are "sticking up for Jesus," "proclaiming his Lordship," or whatever. I think God is beyond either appreciating or getting upset over things like this.
As a Christian, I support the rights of those Jewish people, and frankly, feel sorry that they needed to go out of their way to ask for some respect.

You say ending a prayer in Jesus' name is pushing a belief system down someone's throat; I say ending a prayer in Jesus' name is how Christ taught us to pray. We both have Freedom of Speech. I won't complain if you don't end a prayer in Jesus name; I'd appreciate the same tolerance if I do. Seems simple enough to me.
