1. Otherwise no turkey for you
2. First the sinners prayer because the Grace of God is what we have to be most grateful for.
3. For the greatest argument in favour of thanksgiving is the scripture that says to be thankful for everything, for it is God's will for us. I know that is a big stretch when things are totally mucked, but that is at least what it says. Charles "That Cheeky Lad"

5. No, repentance
6. No. It is one of the types of Christian prayers. However the most important is the celebration of the Lord's supper, the Eucharist.
7. An interesting question. For a Catholic or Anglican I suppose the most important prayer is the Mass or Communion Service. After that I do think that thanksgiving is important & something that we often forget. We are very quick to use prayer to ask for what we want, but slower to say 'thank you.' As Jesus said when a man he cured returned to say 'thank you' 'Did I not heal ten of you? Where are the other nine?' Thanksgiving also implies that we accept God in our lives & that we accept His plan for us, even though we may not understand it. 'Thy will be done . . ' Repentance is also important - accepting that we are imperfect & saying 'I am sorry for my wrongdoings, I will try to do better.'
