I propose that it be extended to every day and that the jesus freaks spend all their spare time praying so they won’t have the time to mix in politics and social policy.

If their prayers work, they will influence public policy without having to do the grungy nuts and bolts grunt work.

Don’t they think their prayers will be more effective than canvassing and lobbying? Either their prayers will work, or they won’t. In the latter case, they have only to admit that they were wrong, both religiously and politically.

I think next time this happens, when they start, I may just stand up and turn my back on them till they are finished.

DeepRiver:

I am offended when I go to lunch and the xtians begin to pray to their gods (yes plural with an S) for putting the food on the table.

I don’t understand how Christians can claim that their religion is monotheistic. In what sense are Satan and the rest of the angels not also gods? By any normal definition they are gods, they’re just not omnipotent like God (with a capital “G”).

You will have a test about how “tolerant” they are.

You probably can find some old Greek prayers to Zeus, or why not Athena or some other, on internet.
