public prayer

[MrSigma]

I was at the local taco bell today and a christian family sat down and started praying. they were saying it outloud and speaking in tounges ( A shama locka lokca ). then the wife fell down and started doing something that looked like the funky chicken. they were all screaming "A SHAMA LOCKA!" "I FEEL GOD!"

everyone was like :confused: :amaze: :eek: :rolleyes:

should public prayar be allowed?

[Jude]

What a stupid subject for debate.

To anyone who considers invidual liberties even a little bit important, this is not a question.

Take it to the Pit.

Should retards like threadstarter be allowed to be retards?

[John Paul Harrison]

Prayer of that type should be mandatory.

you got a problem? Or are you just some nazi jerk

[John Paul Harrison]

Are you serious?

[OMGaDINOSAUR]

Yes. He is a nazi jerk. Take this garbage somewhere else. You aren't funny.

[A Spoonful Supreme]

if everyone prayed like that at taco bell that would be really annoying and the annoyance factor would render the act of praying like that intolerable, they can go elsewhere and pray

[bleep_bloop]

anyone who considers civil rights even vaguely important would say that public prayer should be allowed

[Eliminator]

no man i'm wit you on this one

anyone caught practicing their rights such as praying should be kicked in the face with steel-toed boots

that'll show those praying sumbitches

[Reaganista]

taco bell reserves the right to refuse service to anyone
or at least they should

[bleep_bloop]

I wouldve told them to go to a church and do it. or at least and go outside to do it. im trying to eat my fake mexican food.

[croniun]

I pray in public but it doesn't involve all that nonsense. I get my food, I say a prayer to myself, then eat. Those people are just a product of the Arminian movement of the past couple of centuries. They're more concerned with emotions then with truth.

[griftadan]

taco bell isn't public domain.

[Hababi]

should public eating be allowed?

no way. 'specially not at taco bell. Ban public eating.

[Iskandar]

taco bell isn't public domain.
Even if it were, I wouldn't be opposed to verbal expressions of religiosity by citizens.

[drewhet]

they were praying to protect themselvs from worms

[The_Passenger]

Well in a place like Taco Bell it's up to store mangement or whoever makes the rules for the resturaunt as to whether it should be allowed or not. As for in public places like parks or on the street, I don't see a problem with prayer. As long as people don't start asking for religous symbols to displayed then it's fine.

1 cor. 14:9
9So it is with you. Unless you speak intelligible words with your tongue, how will anyone know what you are saying? You will just be speaking into the air.

Public prayer should be allowed. But the way they did it is not scriptural. You are not supposed to speak in tongues unless someone is there to interpret. For if you speak and no one can understand you you are a "clanging cymbal" (I. Cor. 13:1)

I'm pretty sure it's without love that you're a clanging cymbal.

[Eliminator]

How does the threadstarted know that they were Christian?

[The_Passenger]

Speaking in tongues is exclusive to Christianity as far as I know. I might be wrong though.

[Hababi]

Maybe they weren't American/native english speakers and were mixing in their own native language :p

Particularly if they were African, being that there's hundreds of African languages and dialects...

yeah, your right. Sorry, it was the wrong verse reference. It got a little messed up with all of stuff on tongues being in the same book and relatively in the same chapter.

1 Cor. 14:2, 6-7
2For anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God. Indeed, no one understands him; he utters mysteries with his spirit
6But now, brethren, if I come to you speaking in tongues, what will I profit you unless I speak to you either by way of revelation or of knowledge or of prophecy or of teaching?
7Yet even lifeless things, either flute or harp, in producing a sound, if they do not produce a distinction in the tones, how will it be known what is played on the flute or on the harp?

Is that supposed to make sense?

[LittlePound]

yes, it is in relation to my previous post where i posted a point using the wrong verse as a reference. Those other versus are the ones i should i have posted the first time to edify my point.

So if you go to France, you'll have to learn the prayers in French?

[WhoDidTheElf]

If it was banned I think the back lash would be pretty nasty, not just from the Christian right either...

You can do whatever you want, as long as you respect my right to make fun of you for it.

i don't think education makes seeing something you don't normally see less novel

[Against Miik!]

I'm sure wherever they are from that is a completely common practice. Just because its different doesn't mean its wrong.

[semi]

id probably be annoyed if it happened.
