I want to thank you for sending these uh these middle -aged men to my basketball camp they are all part of a league

Speaker 4

and I know I'm an adult man but my dad told me I wasn't supposed to pray he told me don't pray he you were told this was a non -religious basketball camp yeah my dad signed me up he he paid for everything he just told me if you go there don't pray don't get into any weird shit don't follow anybody yeah you ain't praying you keep your eyes up and keep your head looking straight out that's what you do when other people are

Speaker 5

praying you don't believe you look weird and you stare straight at you find the other person in the room is also not praying and

Speaker 1

you give them a little you

Speaker 5

just question is if you still respectfully say i'm not a

Speaker 3

people yeah that's what you're thinking the whole time

Speaker 4

a lot a lot can be told about how a non -believer acts when a prayer is going to do they roll eyes

Speaker 3

do they look for other people

Speaker 4

i think

Speaker 3

i'm going to say it but can we get back to the prayer lord i want to thank you for sending these gentlemen here today because they are trying to get better why did you realize that they're trying to get better i'm just talking about

Speaker 2

you it's the

Speaker 3

fact that it's

Speaker 2

the

Speaker 5

lord's power

Speaker 3

were your eyes open bill yeah

Speaker 5

i need to look around well then that doesn't feel it

Speaker 3

doesn't feel it doesn't feel it's safe for us to act when

Speaker 5

we want to

Speaker 4

who are you talking to then when you're looking

Speaker 3

around

Speaker 0

i'm still talking i'm talking to him he does the prayer the prayer doesn't have to keep his eyes closed it's for the acceptors and the listeners
