(Although I get REALLY MIFFED at athletes who get in front of a mike after winning some event, and explain how their praying to Jesus was the reason they won. LIke, what?? The other guy didn't pray hard enough? Did Jesus just like you better?)

What about a guy walking down the street. If he wants to stop and pray... or if he and his entire posse are walking down the street and decide to stop, grab hands and pray... I have no problem with that.

Guy and his posse come to a bus stop where I'm waiting for a bus with some other folks, and he says, "Hey, everyone, let's all gather round and pray before the bus comes." No, thank you, and I resent you're presuming to impose your beliefs on folks who didn't ask for it.

Who says you can't? You just can't impose it on others.

4.
How on earth did you arrive at that??? Did someone ask you to join in on a recital of atheist quotes or a Buddhist chant or something?

You're inventing problems... you're saying it's disrespectful for others to complain about being asked to join in honoring your religion, so why should you respect others who aren't asking you to join in anything?

That's pretty silly.

Again, that's just stupid. We're all in that locker room for one reason... to go out as a team and kick the other #@!&%+*'s collective asses. We're not there to preach our particular religious beliefs to each other.

What's not to understand here, Rainbow ?

:-)))

This is a satiric(al) example, but I did dnot mean that.
I meant the following :
- our activity is affected by set of norms and/or relugations by the environment, community, society, group, etc. we occupy and/or stay within

#3, #5
Respect others and try not to impose anything on them, instead.

#4
Respect works in Both ways, and not one way selectively and/or exclusively.
Is that silly, really ???
