Reply To: Objecting to a prayer.

For example, I go to a sporting event and someone is invited to offer a public prayer; and it makes no sense to me; but its its not like obviously chillul haShem. But I don’t want to be a party to it.

Maybe my secular legal education regarding certain situations which require one to state an objection or consent will be implied; I don’t know if this has any grounding in Torah or not.

Or say the student is simply praying that they don’t have to take a final; but you are intent that they do…

Ani’ o’vey kut ?
