Take time???? Do something for me???? If they actually cared about me they'd respect my wishes. They can pray till the cows come home for all I care, they don't need to tell me about it when I ask them not to.

Your statement that the problem is with me only demonstrates that you're an ass.

 No it is you who have demonstrated you are the a.., not me. Anyone who can condemn people who want to do something for another and let that other know they care by telling them then there is little to say for that person other than they are most selfish.

Death can be mercy, many on their death beds have asked God for just that thing mercy through death. It's certain I'm not on your high level of stupidity. Now hears this, we pray asking that if it is God's will that a person want recover from whatever is taking them to there end that He would be merciful and end their suffering. This is far different than what you are trying to tell others I said. Those you are trying to influence can read and understand well enough that they do not need your false interpretation of what I said.

That's a real shame if someone is suffering and there's no one around to beg God. He just watches them and shrugs.

I've begged God to end all the suffering that ever happens before. But since that's not something that can happen anyway, it didn't happen.

 Your use of words is so transparent that it's pitiful, you need to work on disguising them better. I never said we/I begged God, Christians know better. You are right God can't stop all suffering in this world it is part of a promise punishment and God keeps His promises. 

Now to address your ignorance, God never makes a specific plan on each persons suffering. Where you came up with this idea is beyond reasoning. A specific suffering for individuals is not planned by God, so how is it you believe He changed a plan.

You are correct about someone suffering and there is no one to ask God's mercy upon them, but I'm betting you do not remember the discussions about God visiting the sins of the fathers upon their children either. Like I said your ignorance of the Christian faith is obvious, we do not beg, God has made it quite plan in His word that begging doesn't work because it has nothing to do with faith. Also God allows it to rain on the righteous and unrighteous alike and He allows the sun to shine on both in the same way and He will distribute His mercy in like manner.

You might receive better attention if you were civil in your statements, but even if you were to be civil listening is another thing all together and listening is something I highly doubt you know how to do when it comes to a Christian speaking to you.

 Why Hammy he is as ignorant and illogical as almost every  atheist I've ever known. He can't even understand the creation story in it's presented order. You need to pick people with some intelligence to quote.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
