Why do you, and other Christians, choose to defy the explicit instructions, from the Jesus that you believe in, not to pray in public. Do you have a different interpretation of these words?
Matthew 6
5 "And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they
love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street
corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have
received their reward in full.
6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and
pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees
what is done in secret, will reward you.
7And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for
they think they will be heard because of their many words...
It's funny how Christians conveniently forget verses like this,
or just choose to totally ignore them.
Even if your Bible instructed you to coerce others to pray
along with you, which it does not, why should you be granted the exclusive right to impose your religious rituals on others in a public forum. What are you trying to say, that only Christians have that right? Far from being persecuted, Christians have long had privileges denied to others.
