Me: eating a burger

John: sir that burger was an actor

[markshields]

I felt the older gentleman in the final segment was particularly eloquent. “You have a right to practice your beliefs as an Atheist, and they have a right to practice theirs.” Well said, sir!

I am a Muslim and I have a bunch of Christian friends and we both pray in our own before we eat. We do respect and love each other

Mans is dropping bars at the restaurant he said “God is great, god is good, let us thank him for our food”

I’m an atheist myself but my best friend is a very religious Christian. Every time I go to her house and have dinner they say prayer- I completely respect that. Its their happiness and faith- you should never attack someone’s happiness.

I really like that last couple. I like how they respect both sides and express what the right thing to do is that benefits both parties

"Prayer isn't always answered, but it's good." BEAUTIFUL!!

As an Atheist myself, I would have just kept my mouth shut. It is their belief, respect that.

[tanya-digital-diary]

no one:

wwyd actors: you're making me uncomfortable

[tamekabaldwin]

GONNA KEEP PRAYING TILL THE DAY WE GO HOME TO BE WITH OUR LORD

[shipmasterofsanghelios]

I am an atheist, but I respect everyone's right to religion. Honestly if I'm eating my food, I probably won't even notice someone praying.

The old lady was so distracted that she poured the whole mayonnaise on her food😂😂😂

[prometheusx]

I dont know why but old people are so savage on this show

[kapitan]

Never be afraid to thank God when You're in public, there is no shame in being grateful ❤️

[derrick]

My girl is a atheist and I am not. She prays with me and even reminds me if I forget and even adds words to the prayer. No matter where we are public or private. You don't have to have the same beliefs to get along and be happy.

Me: *finally gets a girlfriend who's loving and caring*
John Quinones: hey sir it's wwyd she's an actress.

[cooleKinder]

Me: Drinks water out of cup

John: Climbs out of water pitcher

John: *Now what made you do that?*

[jakemiller]

I’m Christian and that is not shoving your religion down someone else’s throat, I respect that family and god bless these parents and the children.

Praying in public should never be something embarrassed about!
