"You know what really grinds my gears" (to steal a line from "Family Guy")? When people bitch and moan over stupid, petty stuff. I was skimming over the threads over on PaganSpace and one of the threads was titled "Students Suing School District over Prayer Read at Graduation".
Really???? REALLY? What now? Praying to the Christian God that the students remain safe and whatnot after graduation??? Oh My GOD Heaven forbid someone ask a deity for people to remain safe. It's not like throughout the prayer the person was putting down non-Christians by condemning them all to hell, saying "oh, Non Christians shall burn in hell for not believing in Jesus" or whatnot. WHO CARES?
Do you see me raising a big stink when I attend a service that happens to have some sort of Christian association (prayer, or whatever)? No! Because I'm not a rude bigot! Sorry if others can't be more like me, but I have respect for other people's beliefs, and don't bother to raise a big stink of something so stupid as having someone pray for me to THEIR God. I pray to my Goddess that the people I love and care for (who do not believe in Her) are safe and healthy, what's the big deal?
I think it's ridiculous! Again, people need to pull their heads out of their butts. Paganism is not the only religion in America, nor is any other religion. You have to learn to get along with others, even if you don't agree with them. If people continue to act like this, this makes us no better than those in the East...one religious group fighting, killing and hurting those who are not a part of their group.
