I read a nice little story by an evangelical Christian several years ago. He told of his conversion from "prayers on the PA" to not. The conversion was caused by some prayers on the PA before a high-school football game, but they were Buddhist prayers at a school in Hawaii. The author's reaction to that was a very gracious, "Oh, I get it now!"
I've wanted to argue with the locals here about what prayers they would most prefer at our football games. Somehow. I don't think that the most vocal proponents would really prefer the choice of the largest bloc of players/students: "Dios te salve, Mara, llena eres de gracia ....."
"The Christian church, in its attitude toward science, shows the mind of a more or less enlightened man of the Thirteenth Century. It no longer believes that the earth is flat, but it is still convinced that prayer can cure after medicine fails." H L Mencken
