Because the prayer is part of their free time and not a part of the job. Why are we paying for them to pray on our dime?
Really, of all the things you could complain paying for you are going to complain about prayer? Are you actually paying for it? Does this even extend the meeting? If it is, but why amount is extending the meeting? A normal prayer doesn't last an excellency long period of time, so what, like a minute? So it like another whole minute of electricity being used. Wow, what a solid complaint you have there.
Oh right, they lost like a whole minute of time they could spending on passing something no one wants.
Why am i being forced to sit there and watch? Here is the problem, if they do it on their time and show up early no one is inconvenienced for something they do not want to be a part of. They can pray to god as they wish, and i do not need to be a part of it. Everyone gets what they want. You feel that for some reason people who are not religious, or people who are religious and do not practice that particular faith should be forced to be a part of christian prayer time. Should you have to wait for muslims to get their mats out and pray to the east? Should you have to sit through a buddhist meditation? Should you have to wait for wiccans to have a ceremony to the goddess?
What exactly is the harm other than you don't want to sit there and watch? So far you keep going over and over again about how you don't want to sit and watch, but that doesn't describe a harm, but just something you don't want to see. I don't want to see all the ugly people on the street, but I'm not going to cry about them being ugly as sin being some horrible bane on my existence.
This is a load of crap because you and every other religious person knows that people have to be forced to pray. That is why you want it at schools and in public meetings. You want those people to have to take a moment to give respect to your god.
<----Atheist. I'm just not a douche that feels it's so horrible people are taking a moment to pray.
Feel free to do it on your own time and I will deal with it. Do not include me in your BS. You are lying and making stuff up that people do not want to deal with you praying. They simply do not want to pray with you, and perhaps you should figure that out because supposedly the christian god doesn't like it when you lie.
No one is making you pray. You showed up for work and they decided to pray. That is basically all there is to it.
