I find that prayer is mainly for inner peace, not public display. Indeed, it is hard to find that peace if one is praying for show or solidarity - not that solidarity is a bad thing at times, especially in the dangerous world of professional football.

Krattenmaker notes the challenge "is to create a pluralistic environment in professional sports, where no one form of belief or non-belief takes over, but where all are... welcome, and all are free to act and speak in accordance with their creeds and beliefs..." I find this to be a good definition for religious liberty. (in a pre-edited preview copy Tom Krattenmaker's newly released book)

I have no quarrel with believers praying together before and after the game to ask that no one is hurt and thanking that no one was (or to pray for those who were). Of course, such public prayer is sometimes its own reward - as the real benefit to prayer is internal.

Thanks for explaining things, Robby. All "Schmalz" did was stuff envelopes (and not very well--John Green was much better at all parts of the research). And I'm very happy to see all of your ventures take off in D.C. I was also a respondent (probably because of my Matthew 25 donation).

Lorette: While I object to what CT is doing, but it's not an issue of freedom of the press or freedom of speech. That refers to government restrictions on such expressions. CT, right or wrong, has the right to remove comments from its page.

That said, I think it's very telling if they are. Suggests their agenda trumps the need for truth. Quoting Sekulow uncritically is lazy, regardless of CT's agenda.
