Request from a Christian.

[Dragonspride1995]

The only negative impact Christians make on me is when they tell me they are going to pray for me, full well knowing I'm not religious. Prayer isn't going to work, but physically assisting me with a problem, will. It's as if prayer is helping the person doing the praying, feel better about themselves, like making them think they actually did something. There's no excuse for that. If a person can't help, say so. But don't goad yourself into thinking that praying for me works, because in my 45 Years on this earth, not once has that ever worked for me.

Omg yes! I mentioned on Facebook that I might not be able to have kids but we are going to try and two of my good friends were like I will pray for you. I was like wtf y'all see everything atheist related that I post, you see that I don't like being told bless you, why in the world do you think I want you to pray for me?! Them knowing my views on it and still saying it is rather insulting instead of what they act like it is... Supportive help. Pfffft.

If im going to believe the Bible, I might as well believe all of it. Else im a hypocrite.

I feel like there are a LOT of rules yalls bible tells y'all to follow that most don't. Trivial shit that no longer makes any sense. How do you go about following that stuff without being a hypocrite or do you follow it to the letter?

If you are speaking about the stuff in deuteronomy and a lot of the stuff from the old testament no. Again theological reasons that I won't get into unless specifically asked about in respect for the context of the thread. Basicly, The mosaic covenant. As for prayers, would you rather we not say anything at all and pray for you anyways?

Doubt is good.

Yes skepticism is a good thing.
