You're not sure, but yet you're sure enough to say that gay Christians aren't really Christians?  In the end, that's between them and God, same as with anyone who professes to be a Christian. It's not up to you, me or anyone else to tell them what they have to sacrifice in their lives...God will give them that information.

Number one, who said you had to use the "typical praying position" when you offer a silent prayer? Number two, what's more important--doing something you believe in, or avoiding comments from some high schooler who doesn't understand your faith?

Matter of fact, aren't we told numerous times that the way will be hard, that we will be persecuted and ridiculed for our beliefs? 

Very well said, Karen!!

If God didn't want people to be gay, then he wouldn't make them that way in the first place, IMO.

Exactly....couldn't have said it better myself! 

Well, you go on about your faith, about how you believe what the bible tells you...if youre so staunch, you shouldn't care what people say about you? Doesn't it say something in the NT about not caring what other people think or say?  Besides, who said you had to assume the traditional praying position?  You can't pray any other way?  Why not?  Does god not listen to you unless you're on your knees, or unless you have your hands together and your eyes closed?  That's BS, to be blunt.  You can pray and no-one has to know that you're praying.  You could even excuse yourself to use the bathroom, lock yourself in a stall and pray there if you felt the need.

This is a problem I see a lot...people can't or won't stand firm on their faith.

This is exactly what I tried to address about 100 posts ago....

I know you did....I thought I re-emphasize it.

I think that people want things their way.  That's why they want a specific time set aside for prayer.  They can pray anytime they want to, wherever they want to...but that's not good enough.  There has to be a public display of prayer. 

I get mailings from Voice of the Martyrs, and keep current with their website....talk about heroes and inspirational folks!!

Sounds to me like he's worried about what his peers think, rather than his teachers.

And as Citahellion and myself both have said - who says you have to 'do the typical praying position'?  You can't pray silently to yourself?  Or is it because you're getting funny looks and comments when you pray - that's why you want to moment's of silence to become official, so then everyone else will be doing it and then you won't stick out like the proverbial sore thumb?

Not according to this you can't:

I'll give you the relevant part:

1. Students have the right to pray individually or in groups or to discuss their religious views with their peers so long as they are not disruptive. Because the Establishment Clause does not apply to purely private speech, students enjoy the right to read their Bibles or other scriptures, say grace before meals, pray before tests, and discuss religion with other willing student listeners. In the classroom students have the right to pray quietly except when required to be actively engaged in school activities (e.g., students may not decide to pray just as a teacher calls on them). In informal settings, such as the cafeteria or in the halls, students may pray either audibly or silently, subject to the same rules of order as apply to other speech in these locations. However, the right to engage in voluntary prayer does not include, for example, the right to have a captive audience listen or to compel other students to participate.

Speaks for itself, really...don't you think?
