Matthew 6:1  "Beware of practicing your righteousness before men to be noticed by them; otherwise you have no reward with your Father who is in heaven.

Matthew 6:6  But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

  You have trouble understanding the scriptures don't you. The first verse doesn't say anything about not witnessing, it simply states that Christians are not to practice self righteousness. The same goes for the second verse, it never references witnessing and besides most of my prayers are out of sight of others.

Looks like god is just as shit at communicating as we thought, then.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views.
