Hi guys.

This is a serious topic,so please don't fool around.

If you guys are hurt in some way, or need guidance I will pray for you.

Please be serious and don't be silly and muck this up, And it must be something serious to pray for.

So, You need prayer?

( This is serious as well )

No, I don't need a prayer. I need a job so I can help pay for a baby on the way, I need a place to live as I am being kicked out of my house for that, I need help, but not guidance.


Thanks for the offer, but I am cool. (Not so serious, but still kind of serious) If you talk to God soon, tell him I said "what's up" and that he should drop by for tea later on.

Studies have shown that longdistance prayer has no effect on the subject of the prayer.

I was being serious, longdistance prayer has no effect.

Although, when someone prays with you and in your presence it is possible it could have placebo effects from changes in mood.

Isn't that, like, cheating?

Been there, done that. I've been to Assisi a while ago and in the church there one could buy prayers and masses. I've been inquiring about the price for a get-out-of-hell-card and if they charrge special premiums for atheists but they did not find this very funny so I got kicked out of this chappel. Damn arrogant pricks!

Seriously there are thousands of people in the world who believe prayer works, and there probably examples where faith healing has appeared to have worked.

In most of these "faith healings" the evidence is merely anecdotal and crucial factors like type of disease, severity of disease, state of disease and recovery conditions when the healing occurs are conveniently avoided/ignored.

Hi, guys. I've prayed for some people even if you don't want it.

It's nice that some poeple are showing an interest, and prayer does work! Many people have been healed from blindness, dethness and alike so please if you want prayer from me or a christian that is near you, ask for it,and you never know. You might see a miracle right before your eyes.

Thanks~ Boy Genius

Wow Shocked You are right, it worked! A guy from Microsoft came to my house, offered me a job, a place to live, and said I could bring everyone with me!
