No matter how much the conservatives in society wish things to remain the same, they inevitably change. This anachronism or prayer will one day go the same way as did offering human sacrifice to the Sun God before the opening of parliament, we have not done that since 1962.

OUG,
gods 'THRONE'..IS OUR LIVING loving heart* This is what is termed a personal God and commonly called your conscience. If that is where you want your god to be then you must realize that in such a position he cannot grant prays, write books or have a son. Posted by ponde, Thursday, 16 January 2014 7:29:16 AM

Conscience is not the extent of the divine but it is our connection to the morality of the divine. However conscience must be educated. Posted by Josephus, Thursday, 16 January 2014 8:35:27 AM

I have a solution, rather than trying to change the world, why not just refrain from participating in the lords prayer when it is played at an event that you are attending.
At least then we can go on focusing on more pressing issues. BTW, if on the other hand the lords prayer offends your FORIGN religious beliefs, then leave! Posted by rehctub, Thursday, 16 January 2014 11:45:07 AM
