Thoughts and not prayers.

[Angrboda]

No jor, that's not what I said.
"it's being open and empathetic and trying to help someone." It's not attempting to get God to do anything. It's reaching out from one human to another. In no way have I ever implied, to my knowledge, that prayer does anything to change God.

Praying for someone else publicly:
1. can piss someone off if it's unwelcome
2. can be self-aggrandizing
3. can be disingenuine or fake
4. can be an easy cop out to actual physical needs

I don't do it if it's any of the above. prayer can also be a lot of positive things. If you think that's half-true apologetic bullshit, after misrepresenting my words, you're just wrong and I'll leave it at that.

That was only one of the horns, tack. When you get both, let me know.

Here, I can do something for you that you may not see or believe, I have this guy I know called God and He loves you.

If you didn't intend to say that, then I'll accept that. You still haven't answered the problem and at this point are only engaged in moving goalposts around. I'll stop misrepresenting you when you stop misrepresenting yourself.
