I woke up this morning to discover I had turned into an insect.

[Marquis]

When people tell me they're praying for me, I love to tell them I've cast a spell for them. My grandma was a voodoo priestess, so it's conceivable that I'd know some voodoo (I don't).

hahaha, awesome, I should try that.

Haha. Excellent.

Sounds like a great battle of wills. The only thing is that I'm sure that frightens some people, that's kinda sad.

 

[Netzach]

I don't care if someone prays for me or not. Please, however, do not TELL me you are praying for me, unless I asked you to pray for me for some reason.

Netzach, I am praying for you and you can't stop me.

 

[Netzach]

Netzach, I am praying for you and you can't stop me.

No, you are doing it wrong.

*earnest look of concern*

*takes your hand*

I'm praying for you.

*pat and drop hand*


THAT is what I mean.

Netzach, why do you reject Jesus?

Don't you know he died on the cross for you?

 

[sphynx's dragon]

OH NO! Not here too!

/me sneaks up behind everyone in Lit, one by one, anoints them with scented oil, and lays hands on them, speaking in tounges, like a pentecostal preacher.

You get a cookie if you realize that I'd seriously do this

 

[graceanne]

wheeee! pointless religion argument!

Okay, on a serious note though, I am really bothered when people "Pray for me", I don't believe in the same things they do, in fact I probably believe that thier beliefs and destructive and idiotic, in all honesty, praying for me rather contradicts the purpose, and it mocks me.

Do you believe in positive energy? Cause, when I'm sick or whatever, I've had people say they're sending 'positive energy' toward me, and that felt to me like being prayed for. So, theoretically, lets say that theirs no God/dess, and therefore no point in praying. I still think that it'd work, cause you're sending positive energy toward the person. Plus sometimes it's just a way of saying that you're supporting that person. Sometimes people feel the need to say more than "I'm sorry" or "That sucks".

Positive energy and praying= WAY different things. If people feel the need to do more than say, "I'm sorrry," or, "That sucks," they should do something of merit.

*shrugs* I believe in magic. The bible discusses it several times, saying that it's a sin. If it's not real, then why would it be a sin?

But, the bible also says that lying and gossiping is a sin. *shrugs* I don't feel that anyone, christian or not, has the right to decide what's a 'bigger' sin. And I know a ton of Christians who lie and gossip. The bible says "Judge not, lest ye be judged." I guess someday, when I'm perfect and don't have to worry about judgement I'll start judging all of you.

And how do you do that for someone online? I can't come over and clean your house (theoretic you), I can't make you a meal, I can't even give you a hug.

And, I'm not looking to tick you off. I'm really curious. I also believe in doing things for people to make them feel better, but with a lot of my online friends I can't.

Roatripping it works for me.

As a Christian I'm going to tell you that if you lay hands on me I'll smack you.

No offense or anything, but I don't like to be touched.

What's that?

 

[canadiancutie]

What's that?

Taking a roadtrip to the person in need. Talking to people online is weird anyway if you have no plans to meet them.

Have I ever mentioned how many children I have? Not everyone in the world is free to just go see people.

Add to that that I'm disabled. I don't go very many places. I'm very housebound.

Not having kids doesn't mean I'm just, "Free to go see people." And most places cater to disabled people. But if a friend really needs you, sometimes you need to make arrangments to get out there and fix things.

Being disabled means I'm broke. And I'm not disabled like as in needing a wheel chair. I'm disabled as in needing to rest a lot, and having to be near a bathroom at all times.

And my children are the priority of my life. If my friends don't understand that, then they're not really friends. My friends know that if I could help them, I would. And if I didn't have kids, I would be able to go see more people, but children need structure. If I just drop everying every time someone needs me, they'd grow up very very screwed up. My children need me more than anyone else. I'm their mother.

I just finished high school and have been paying rent since I was 16, trust me, I'm broke too. And I don't mean roadtripping it when someone gets a paper cut, I mean when they legitimately need help, your kids really wouldn't be too affected.

LOL I was getting all irritated, and then I realized that you can't read my mind, or know what my life is like. I seem to make friends with poeple who are in need. Dunno if I'm just fucked up, or what. (Ok, I know i'm fucked up.) But not to name names in the last 6 months I've had one friend who's been in and out of the hospital, another who had a hysterectomy, another who had her baby taken from her cause she is developmentally disabled, one who lost her job, another who was kicked out of her home. I'm sure their's more, but I try not to identify my friends by their problems. When Ella was dying, if their had been anyway in hell of me getting out there, I would have gone. But I was broke, I don't drive, and I was seriously ill myself. Two days after she died I was hospitalized for blood loss, bleeding ulcers, and severe dehydration. There was no way it could happen.

I'm broke and don't drive, but when my friend's parents died I just hitched out to Calgary, and got them to make arrangments for my treatments to be there instead of here. Like I said, there's always a way.
