Wallace Street Prayer Miffs Bond

Two LDS (Mormons) on their youthful missions were hustling the streets of Wallace yesterday, and happened upon a few of us enjoying an adult beverage at an outdoor table in front of a local saloon on the first truly summer-like day of the year -- before we get the late-winter crap of big snowflakes. ... At any rate, these young missionaries doing the TDY in Shoshone County invoked all of us to pray together, standing up and holding hands, there on the bloody side walk. The prayer was harmless in and of itself, but the situation pissed me off/David Bond, Wallace Street Journal. More here.

Question: Are you upset by public displays of prayer, including someone asking a blessing over a meal in a restaurant?
