it was alright until that part. but since that part didnt seem like it was made into a big issue and they didnt talk about religion in any other part of the group. it didnt make a difference to me. they said the serenity prayer. i mean one guy was religious but he talked about faith based movies. so i dont think that counts. but im not big on the hugging thing or the holding hands while praying. like if we just bowed our heads in our seats like that wouldve been fine for me. but like standing in a circle holding hands and praying and then hugging afterward. not my thing.
im religious. and im religious in a lot of things i do but when i meet with other people that i dont know and do things in groups that involve religion i guess i prefer to do it where i expect it: like a church or a religious support group.
this wasnt particularly religious tho so... i mean they said the serenity prayer. which is everywhere.
but the holding hands and hugging. like i dont want the physical contact. if the praying was just bowing our heads together that would be fine.
i mean this is texas. one thing about texas and the south is that even in non-religious gatherings people still will pray together in some form or fashion. whether its at a sporting event - local or national. or at a meal. or an event. etc. not EVERYWHERE but a good amount of places they will.
