If you think that I can be persuaded that a great injustice has been done then you are sadly disillusioned... Who told you that you could not pray in schools? Or at school functions? I , nor any other, would interrupt your silent concourse with your God. But that is not the point here, it has no bearing on the issue, you do not care to silently converse, for who can be impressed by what they do not hear? Yes, I saw you standing at the flag pole praying your rather windy prayer about the virtues of education and of how you hoped that all here would learn well... And as you passed the threshold of the school, I saw you taunt another about something they had no control over, I watched you disrupt the learning of those in close proximity to your game, and I saw a strong proponent for long discourses that were as vaporous as the air. You think that I am wrong because I refuse to say your prayer in unison, aloud? I sense you are a hypocrite who knows nothing of silent meditation but cares only for the multitudes of molecules that are sent reeling by the vocal exhortations that issue thoughtlessly from your mouth not recollected when you yourself act as you earnestly begged others not to. I hear others like you and see both sides of their face, they who’ve totally forgotten what a private conversation can achieve. |

Hi Jana I believe in private and silent conversation but I fear I'm speaking with some souls which can't understand it or take it. So I turn away. It's difficult. Sincerely A_L |

WOW!! I think you have some definite feelings on this subject!!! I have also thought before that I don't like to be told which prayers to say at which time. Although I attend a traditional church, I feel free to say my own prayers, my own way. I usually just tune everything else out, so maybe I'm missing the bigger picture you are portraying here. Good rant!! |
