I was pointing out the context. I was always taught (by Christians) that Jesus was referring to the pious Jews who engaged in public prayer in his prayer references. Part of praying in Judaism is a public (or not private) thing. I can’t imagine Jesus was talking about the ‘hypocrites’ of the pagan religions. Who else was he speaking of?:dubious:

Don’t look at me. I don’t pray.

No, apparently you’re too ‘retarded’ for level-headed conversation. Bigotry is bigotry and hatred is hatred, but the Evangelical Christians are not comprised of **terrorist** group/s.

If you have a point to make, make a point. Don’t use smokescreens like the fringe groups. It’s no better than telling me Obama is a Muslim.
