This atheist remembers all the words but equally ingrained are all the words of a limerick about a policeman from Lewisham junction. I'd need convincing that either was the word of God.

We never said the last part "for thine is the power. . ." As part of the prayer. The priest would say that part after we said "amen".

I'll stand by my comment until advised that it was not a public school. Either way, prayer needs to be removed from public (read: government sponsored) schools.

Porc: freedom of religion means that public schools should neither be encouraging students to pray, nor discouraging them from it. As long as it wasn't a school employee leading the prayer, there's really not much reason to object to what students do on their own initiative.

ThirdParty, I completely agree. Unfortunately, all too often these are school officials (such as teachers, coaches, sponsors) that are leading these prayers. Kids that do not want to take part often feel pressured to do so for fear of being ostracized. I have no problem with players of a football team, for example, getting together to pray (other than the fact that I persoanlly think it's a ridiculous waste of time), but even that can lead to ostracization amongst non-believers.

Personally, I think religion should be reserved for churches/mosques, etc or behind the closed doors of your home. Legally, I'll have to deal with the freedom of(FROM) religion afforded by the constiution.

PorcNBeanz....No one is holding a gun to your head telling you you have to believe in prayer. The last time I looked, the US (if that's where your at) was a free country. If you don't like this country, move some where else that they don't pray, it's that easy.

@PorkNBeanz

If you truly believe that the freedom of religion and freedom from religion (the latter of which is in no way, shape or form in the Constitution) are the same thing, perhaps you should spend a little less time arguing with people online about it and more time learning the difference between the two prepositions by consulting your dictionary.

@TheQuizzler - Take it up with the Supreme Court. They have ruled, over and over again, that government entities, including public schools, cannot compel religious belief, practice, or worship. Prayer led by officials in public schools (including so-called "voluntary" prayer) has been explicitly ruled as unconstitutional.

Quite different from what I imagined this to sound like in English. I only know the complete German protestant version that I had to learn in school before deciding to become an Atheist.

My church always used "sins" in place of "trespasses" and just said "forever" instead of "ever and ever," but I've been to enough weddings and services at other churches to be familiar with this version.

80% - which I don't consider bad at all giving that I never learned the prayer in English but in Finnish and I don't really hear it that often these days. I can't say I am an atheist or an agnostic, but I am not a Christian believer either. Perhaps closest to agnostic? I, however, believe faith is a private thing and should not be forced upon others. If you have faith that's good for you, leave me out of it. I shall also not tell you to abandon your faith.

I seem to remember our primary school headteacher teaching us this. I don't know why. It wasn't even a Christian school. Anyway, I suppose it will be stuck in my head "for ever and ever" now.

Now this is embarrassing.... I was doing really badly. I couldn't understand why so few of my words were acceptable. I knew it off by heart, although I am not religious, I remembered the words very clearly from school. Then I realized I was reciting the 23rd psalm, not the Lord's Prayer!! Once I got that sorted... easy!!

"Deliver us, Lord, from every evil, and grant us peace in our day. In Your mercy keep us free from sin and protect us from all anxiety as we wait in joyful hope for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ."

Catholics know that interjection by the priest, and then it finishes, "For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours, now and forever, amen."

Then you get to the sign of peace, which is why you walked across the whole church to sit behind that pretty girl you've been watching...

I got exactly the current average, 62. Not bad since I do not know the English version. The part "thy kingdom come" I think I have heard before. (Edit: ok aparently that is a major videogame haha).

"this day" I missed, an extra part we don't have. I tried sins in place of trespasses (perhaps also guilt, but knew that wouldnt work). Missed the "the's" .... and the power and the glory..

And before getting for ever and ever I tried eternity

Fun fact: This is not actually a prayer for us to quote. It's a template for a prayer. Jesus was asked by a disciple to teach him how to pray. This was the example Jesus gave him...

...allegedly. :)
