Those must be some interesting family portraits!

We have some things in our churches that we might call ritual, but in the case of the Baptist it's to bring the church together in worship of God. There are rituals in today's church that are beneficial, now I'm speaking of the protestant churches. The Catholics and Orthodox will have to speak up for their rituals. Prayer should never be a ritual in any denomination.
Is it not a ritual to go to Church every Sunday? So you're telling us that you're against that?
