What a crock of sheeeit

I say Grace to myself before every meal. And with my family at dinner and restaurants

We begin every meal in the Nitro household as follows:

quote:

---

Let us praise God. Oh Lord, oooh you are so big. So absolutely huge. Gosh, we’re all really impressed down here I can tell you. Forgive us, O Lord, for this dreadful toadying and barefaced flattery. But you are so strong and, well, just so super. Fantastic. Amen.

Yes, yes, no and yes

Only when I'm in front of the in laws so they can see how righteous and holy I am

yep

I'm an atheist now but was raised Catholic. My family has never done this though. However, my wife's family is very religious - to the point that her dad flipped out and broke her Poison records when he found she was hiding that "devil music". The last few years we've been having Thanksgiving dinner for the whole family at out house. Every time, her dad forces everyone to gather in a circle and hold hands while he "blesses the food". Lat year people got the jump on him and just starting fixing their plates and eating before he got the chance. Later he made comments about "not feeling right about not blessing the food," insinuating they may not be back to our house next time around. I don't understand why he can't bless his own damn food and not force everyone else to follow his beliefs. That's what irritates me the most about Christians.
