Realise. The hurtful words are a reaction to the condescending arrogance of your position.
There a hundreds of religions out there, and we simply believe in one less than you.
How would you feel someone prayed to Ra on your behalf, and that you were angry at Ra, and worshipped a false abrahamic goat herder deity instead? Pretty irritated?
What would convince you that Thor was on the one true God? How does your religion differ?
Do you think that Horus's people didn't have the same absolute conviction as you that Horus walked with them in spirit (or literally).
Prayer is irrelevant. Its sad that you had sorrow in your life. You defended yourself with a delusion, which is perfectly human, but do not be insulted when people point out the delusion to your face, when you choose to act as if you have a non-existent moral superiority. We both know its not true.
Good luck, and goodbye, since I assume you are now leaving because people said nasty things about your particular cult. However, you only have yourself to blame for your absolute arrogance based on your self-authenticating private illusions.
Would you prefer dismissal, or pity... its pretty much the choice of the two at this point.
Self-authenticating private evidence is useless, because it is indistinguishable from the illusion of it. ― Kel, Kelosophy Blog
If you’re going to watch tele, you should watch Scooby Doo. That show was so cool because every time there’s a church with a ghoul, or a ghost in a school. They looked beneath the mask and what was inside?
The f**king janitor or the dude who runs the waterslide. Throughout history every mystery. Ever solved has turned out to be. Not Magic. ― Tim Minchin, Storm

Good for you. The religion is a placebo, but it IS an effective one. Hey... It seems to have worked out well for you. However... You need to understand that we already know all about Christianity and do not believe that it is true. Please respect that and everyone will love you.

Ok, I'm beginning to understand you now. Now I've never been addicted to anything harmful. I've never really lost anyone I knew and loved. I'm not in any pain or anger. I'm very happy. Just because (as you claim) some atheists have come to you saying they're in pain and all that doesn't mean the rest of us are. You're generalising all atheists as angry and depressed. You are mistaken.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

Still a generalization. I have never been a believer. I'm happy. I'm content. All is well in my life. I'm good to other people. I give some of the very little I make to charity. If I see somebody who needs help I help. No god required.

In all seriousness and sincerity, I'm glad things worked out for you. Your path is still not the right path for me.

No more, I won't give up on you guys when I sign out it will be to care for my family and I'll say so and I'll check back with this post later. I am sorry if you perceive me as condescending. That was not my intent. If someone prayed to a false God for me, I would pray for them out of loving kindess

Ace, I understand that. Out of the few I've mentioned each one branched out hurt including physical sexual etc abuse of another handful of members so that struck me as a common denominator
Ok my husband is home were going to BBQ now I'll talk to you guys later, take care <3

You do need help. You're using religion as a form of pain relief. A crutch if you will. It's not me who's in pain. More than likely....it's you.

Hunter does sound tired, or sad. I can't tell which. Tired and Sad comes across the same in text i've found.

I have to almost respect Hunter9035 as he is a none violent Christian that so far has not mention Hell once or damnation. And get to call him self one as he loves his naber and enemy (as far as I can tell) how ever I wish he would wake up to really as really is so much more weird and wonderful then and person can Imagen.

I am glad after starting off on a sour note, everyone seems to be ok with Hunter. To those who are still thinking of mocking her beliefs, please give her a break 
Hunter, I want you to pray for me. Please pray so that I can be saved too. I am genuinely opening my heart to your God. Please pray for me.
