It does strike me as a very weird thing to do but I also think it's weird that high school football teams will often pray before a game and that's very common. I don't know what religion has to do with a football game or an exam though.
Didn't you know, god plays favorites. Or at least people like to think he does.
So do you think there's an invisible spectator in the stadium who's rooting for one particular team and might even cause a missed tackle or a bad pass to happen to make sure they win.
How else can you explain U of M's loss to Michigan State.
If you want to confront the prof about it, do it *after* you have passed the class. Trust me on that one.
Great piece of advice. I once sent an email to a professor that use to rant about religion and how there's no God in class and just said 'please be respectful of all religions in class' I got a freaking D, maybe it was my work, but I always thought I deserved a better grade than that, I was really active in class. Either way, this lead to me thinking he chipped me. Then of coarse I retook the class later needing it for school after college (D's too low) and left because the people were acting hatefully religious if that is even possible, maybe just plain hateful hiding behind religion. I swear, this freaking class! lol it's like college english II and I've just had the worst time with it! If I have to take it this time, which I might, I'm keeping my mouth SHUT and my head down! Sometimes you just have to know when to not participate I suppose, which kind of sucks because I really enjoy analyzing literature. No more of that for me in English II.
It wasn't out loud, but she asked everyone to put their pencils down and close their eyes before saying that she was going to make a prayer. I was shocked enough to make a small "heh" motion, but considering that she uses terms like "prayerfully" I wasn't completely surprised. While she was (silently) praying, I was busy working on my test.
I'm posting this here because I want to know what you would have done in this situation or if you have been in a similar situation before. I'm not angry about this since I've dealt with much worse, but this is admittedly another drop in the "Get the F out of Mississippi ASAP" bucket.
As long as she doesn't try and force you to join in, I see no problem.
It's because god loves football...and I don't blame it.
So that's why the Detroit Lions nearly always lose! God hates the Lions because Christians used to be thrown to the lions (why did we ever stop that tradition btw?) God helps the other teams beat the Lions. Is it coincidence that the N.O. Saints beat Detroit? I think not.
And all along I thought it was just because they sucked!
This tread keep reminding me of the saying “let them do the praying for you and you do the thinking for him”. Being he was a professor who it seemed did not do much thinking you would have been at a distinct advantage to start with.
