[QUOTE="Nithavela, post: 69414323, member: 185184"] He didn't say anything about JUST praying out in the open. He said don't put on a show, don't be filled with your own self righteousness as you pray in public for the purpose of attracting attention to yourself. Jesus was calling out the boisterous street corner preachers. To quietly have a moment of prayer (as this boy does) in public for someone, does NOT fall under that purvue. Jesus does say to pray in secret, but frankly, I'd consider this moment private and the picture being taken an intrusion on that privacy. I feel like I should ask you the same question since it is clearly a leading question. What do you believe Jesus says about praying in public Nithavela?[/QUOTE] I think that it can be summed up as "don't make a spectacle out of your prayer". And I think that this can be extended to "don't make a spectacle out of other people's prayer, too." So yeah, I'm with you on the whole "breach of privacy" thing. I wonder what this kid thinks about all of this. [/QUOTE]
