Atheist/Agnostics: Do you ever get socially pressured to say grace@dinner?

[dhinojosa]

I have family members that I have told that I am not religious, and in a complete asshole move they start prayer at dinner in spite. They think they come off holier than thou, eventhough they do it against their Book of Matthew Chapter 6. Anyways for us agnostics (and atheists of course), I would like to suggest a grace that will make people stop trying to pressure you into prayer. Its called thanking Science. It would start of something like this:

--------------------------------------------------------------------

All graces at dinner thank some sort of god, diety, or some other mythological creature. I would like to take this moment to thank the people who truly brought this food to our table this evening; Science!

I thank science for providing guidelines for how many insects can come into our food.

I thank science for showing us how many calories, fat, carbs, sugar, and sodium are in our meal today in an attempt to lengthen and better our lives

I thank science for automobiles, because without them our food would not be transported to us here today. Oh and a special thank you to truckers!

I thank science for refrigeration. Without refrigeration, we would need to store food underground with salt to keep it fresh.

I thank science for soap! This includes the soap we use to wash our hands, the dishes, counter tops, tables, seats, our food, and our bodies.

I thank science for proper waste disposal so that we don't get E. Coli on our food.

I thank science for having the medical technology to make us feel better in case we do get sick from our food.

and you can go on and on!
What other science entries would you add?
