b/c...i mean, there is no other time it happens.

even the prayer in schools thing - i know kids can and do pray in school even where their teachers and admins can't lead them in prayer. if they wanna bow their head and pray to themselves no one stops them. at least no one stopped me when i've done that.

prayer at work - same thing - if an employee wants to pray to themselves while on the job and that prayer doesn't prevent them or their coworkers from doing the job at hand then it's all good.

i guess ppl might feel persecuted where they feel they can't evangelize at work or at school or in certain public settings. and that evangelizing is a key element of some folks practice of their faith.
