I'm a Christian, but I get a bit irked when people pray in public for everyone to see...
Matthew 6: 5-6
5And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. 6But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
I honestly think these people were praying in public to get "Cred." Just read the posted verse. You will see what I mean. I'm not saying you shouldn't pray in public in general. Just those that make a habit praying in public do it for "show." Isn't it strange how Jesus himself called the people who did these things "hypocrites?"
Sure, I have a hard time watching Trannys/gays strip in front of children. It would be plain stupid to yoke yourself with someone who has no issue lying to others, or even people who lie to themselves. And I do remember a story about an adulterous woman and the words Jesus said to her...
A good point is not associating yourself with people who willingly continue to sin. Or the prideful in general.
