I mean I'm atheist but if I'm at a place where the vast majority of the people are doing prayer I just put my head down and think about whatever for a minute or two.
If real though it seems like the kid and the dad have some other underlying issues between them but still no need to make a fool of yourself and ruin the day for everyone else there.
The National Day of Thanksgiving is a unique opportunity for Australians to celebrate and give thanks for our God given heritage as a nation and to demonstrate the God given values of honour, respect, thankfulness and gratitude towards our fellow man that have made us the great nation we are.
It is a day for us to pause as a nation and say thank you to God and to each other for those many things we often take for granted but which really make our lives worth living. Let us use this day to be a blessing to those who have been a blessing to us during the past year.
