Pray in your closet

[DavidC]

I'm a little weirded out by Christians who walk around with pens on their necks with the band-pen-necklace-type-thing (I'm not sure what to call it) that says "I [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Jesus".

This doesn't really line up with something Jesus is said to have said in the Book of Matthew: "Pray in your closet."

Now a few things here:

1) I don't know if the word "closet" is actually the word that was used in the testament, or if that's just a weird KJB translation, but the point gets across just fine.

2) The purpose of "praying in your closet" was to pray as a devotion to God rather than to pray for esteem among men, and thus, someone who's wearing an "I [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Jesus" pen-necklace-band-type-thing wouldn't necessarily be guilty of any sort of sin, as long as they weren't doing it to try to get a promotion at work or some crap like that, which they most likely aren't.

Anyways, any comments would be appreciated.

I'm mostly just a really introverted person when it comes to faith, so that's why this overt display of faith kinda bothers me, which is why I think about it.
