So, uhm, yeah this made me wanna say a lot of things, but since I mostly think in emotions my thoughts tend to be a little fuzzy, but I'll try to make
my little rant make as much sense as possible.'
First of all, Death, the way you frased your post kinda almost rubbed me the wrong way. You didn't straight out say 'Non-belivers or non-christians
are wrong/stupid/whatever-you personally-feel-it-should-say-here' but the post had a lot of tension it it that made ME feel uneasy.
I just wanted to say that everyone here on wotn, and in the real world, should remember that buddhists, atheists, muslims, christians, wiccans, and
everyone else is equally hurt and feel equally humilliated when someone says anything degrading about their religion or beliefs. I am not talking about you Death, so I hope you don't feel like I am, because I am talking about all of us and about people generally. Nor am I only talking about religion, this concerns music, fashion, sexual preferences,food, intrests and any other part of life you can think of.
Second, I totally agree with both of you. Don't start a religius debate in here, this is the wrong topic. Death's right, no one cares about your beliefs if you are forcing them down their throaths. Sorry if anyone felt that was what I was doing previously.
Third, this is an awesome idea, and I support it whole heartedly. Just knowing that someone cares enough to give your problems some of their time helps so unbelievably much when you are feeling down. Thumbs up!
Fourth, is this limited to 'christian prayers' only? Because I would like to help as well, but I'm not going to participate in something I don't believe in,
as I believe the one performing it have to believe it works or it won't. A lot of believes in there. Anyway, when I have a problem I feel I can't handle
I write it down on a piece of paper, and then I burn the note wishing the problem away, thus solving it. It works for me, and I would love to do that
for someone else if they feel alright with it, at the same time as you pray for them.
I hope it was undersandable, and please forgive me if I accidentally gave you a headache, that was not my intention.
Feel free to deliete this post if you think it's spam or inappropriate, I wasn't sure if this was okay or not.
