Quote by: caphis No one has thus far suggested that anyone be able to tell everyone to join in prayer. In fact, in the story in the OP, the coach didn't even require everyone to join. |
That's a copout, the old
'no one needs to join in if they don't want to' ploy. What you're doing is requiring everyone involved to publicly choose sides in a divisive moral controversy, and to make themselves open to the peer pressures that go with it.
Pray individually if you want to or don't, but don't make it a group participation event.

Quote by: Anmon Wicca prayers are garbage compared to the power of Christian prayers. |
Says who... oh, that's right. Christians. How about a rousing Buddhist chant before the game. That'll get folks fired up. Or maybe an invocation to Kartikeya, the Hindu God of war. After all, we ain't gonna be playin' pattycake out there. Maybe a Muslim prayer of An-Nasr, for Victory.
The parents won't mind, right?
