I say more power to them.  Let all the Christians go to their own restuarants so I won't have to watch their rediculous ritual before I eat.  In fact there should be a "No Praying" section, so i don't get second hand prayer.

LOL.  I like that.  I've got friends who can't eat without praying first.  In restaurants, they do that quick silent prayer thing.  The food arrives, and midsentence, they stop and think something or other to themselves, and then they pick up a fork and start to eat.  On the surface, this may not seem to be as offensive as praying out loud in public or shouting out, "Praise Jesus!"  But, I find it intellectually jarring, and I don't think it's done in such a way as to be less obtrusive, either.  While it's not openly verbal, their body language absolutely screams, "Look at me!  I'm being devout so you can clearly see that I love Jesus so much!  I really really do!"  I feel like they are going out of their way to treat me to a plateful of their spiritual bullshit.
