Agreed. When in Rome, afterall. If I, an atheist, can bow my head in silence during the blessing of a meal in my Christian host's house, then why should it be a stretch for a Christian to respect the practices of his Druid host?

It all falls to respect. Some have it...some don't. It matters not one one bit whether you're Christian or not.

Wow...from license plates to dinner plates. We sure got off the mark, didn't we?
