[QUOTE="th3warr1or"][QUOTE="Pirate700"]What do you do when you have a guest over? Just out of curiosity.

[QUOTE="Pirate700"]

[QUOTE="th3warr1or"] I think most people who do pray, would probably pray even if they have a guest over. I mean, if you do pray, it's not particularly rude to do so if you're the host. th3warr1or

Nope, never have. I find it very strange. I have never been in a situation where I had to. Talk about uncomfortable- That would just weird me out. I don't like putting pressure on during meal times; it should be relaxed, and open. By saying Grace, I feel like it puts pressure on the meal, like CHERISH THIS FOOD.

Thumbs down. No thanks.

[QUOTE="th3warr1or"][QUOTE="Pirate700"]I have to disagree. I find it rude to put a guest in a situation that they can't take part in (if they aren't religious or of the same faith).

Thanksgiving...ugh... :P

[QUOTE="Pirate700"]

[QUOTE="th3warr1or"] I've never ever had that problem though. Maybe cause everyone who does come over to my place is generally well aware of my religious affiliation (and okay with it). What would you define as a "guest?" I don't think I would mind if any of my friends felt the need to pray before their meals, though I'd technically be a guest in their place. th3warr1or

[QUOTE="TwoFace-BS"] Make them extremely uncomfortable if they dont?wis3boi

Thanksgiving...ugh... :P

[QUOTE="th3warr1or"][QUOTE="Pirate700"]I mean if a guest is over a a family's house for dinner and they decide to say grace. They have to know how awkward that is for the guest sitting at the table with them not having any clue what they should do. What's worse is when they ask that guest to lead the prayer when they aren't religious.

Like I stated above... I feel like saying Grace puts wayyyy to much pressure/tension on the meal. It should be casual and relaxed. Grace weirds me out, so does assigned dinner table seating, and using the "right" utensils. Thumbs down on proper dinner manners.

[QUOTE="Pirate700"]The worst is if they ask you to lead it. It's like, uhhhhhhhh...... :?

Thanksgiving...ugh... :P

I say it anyways and then I feel weird by lying :P

Heck noninjastar

I did when I was younger.

what am i gracing about the food to a fairytale for?

i say grace to that piggy/cow/chicken/plant for the yummich it's about to give me

No I don't like wasting time.

Nope. I remember I was eating at a friends house one time where they said grace at the table. It was one of the most awkward minutes of my life.

Pirate700

Oh god, I still remember when I was at a friend's house and started chowing down just to look up and see them getting ready to say grace. Embarassing to say the least.

No.......Kinda awkward chowing down, while the rest are bowing their heads and muttering......Maybe I should be more considrate of others...........

No. But I fold my arms, close my eyes, and stay silent while some member of my family does when I'm eating with them.
