Prayers for anyone in the path of Erin

[davidvel]

This is what started it
You obviously have issues with people having genuine concerns for others safety and security
You ? people’s motives on prayer
And when confronted you are only able to reduce your arguments to name calling, not very mature … just saying… but again let’s go back to the original responce and leave it there… Bless your

So apparently your lack of denial leads to the logical conclusion that yes, you are praying to the being that you believe is omnipotent and in charge of everything that occurs, "in mysterious ways" that they might not let their hurricane they created cause any harm to anyone.

I'd say Bless your heart, but that is just as kooky.

Name calling is not an acceptable defense
Why can’t you simply let people pray for others safety
Seems very sick on your part

Sick to ask what the purpose is of praying not cause any harm to the same deity that caused the hurricane in the first place? Ok.

No one said anything about what caused or what solves the issue
It’s simply a matter of supporting others
You aren’t allowed to tell people what they are allowed to feel or how they express their sympathy and concern, that’s frankly a bully stance and should never be tolerated in society

Manners make the man
Try learning them
Atleast watch The Kingsman … might help you with your passive agressince issues

I never told anyone (and if I did it would hold no water) what or what not they should do or feel. You obviously are afraid of my questions for some strange reason.

Do you not think that the deity you are praying to is in control of our world and the weather, and everything else through divine sovereignty? I was taught in my childhood schooling that God has a plan and purpose for everything that happens, and nothing occurs outside of His will.

Do you not believe this? If not, why would you pray to them that they may control a favorable outcome?

I’m so sorry but honestly you are arguing with semantics and I’m not sure you can even grasp the relativity of them
You have personally taken it upon yourself to fill a lovely post with nothing but negativity
Maybe that’s what makes you feel relevance in this world but frankly I find it sad and disturbing that a simple post of prayer and love would cause you so much mental meltdown
I will truly take the time out to pray for you
Guess what prayers I’ll say… what religion… that might cause you angst … do you have a preference?

Feel free to "pray" as you see fit. I have made no negative comments whatsoever. You can feel what you want but I certainly have had no "mental meltdown." Obviously whatever religion you ascribe to does not require that you not attack others, and proffer false verbal descriptions, and false judgments, as you repeatedly have done to me.

I am hoping and wishing that no one is hurt or loses their property, though this looks like a mighty storm, and certainly my feelings, thoughts, and expressions thereof, will have zero affect on that outcome, nor will yours.

Should there be bad consequences from this storm caused by those that you pray to, I certainly will be saddened, and provide support to disaster relief in the best way I can, and express sadness and compassion.

Yet you still cannot explain how praying to the deity that created the storm is of any consequence.

It must be a terribly sad way to live that attacking anyone’s thoughts and prayers would disturb you.
Why would it matter to you which so called diety I personally pray to? Are you the thought police?
You can shroud your negativity in so called polite responses of relief but if you initial question people’s desire to want safety and security to occur in the midst of a major disaster I sincerely doubt that you would follow through with commitments to provide afterwards without questioning their personal beliefs or religious views
You seem very dedicated to tearing down the fiber of people that genuinely care for others
Maybe that makes you feel temporarily superior
Maybe it enables you to victimize them
Overall I feel confident that you lack empathy for the potential victims of these natural disasters and want to put blame on others for simply wishing them safety and health… plus prosperity and survival of assets

I Wow, your run on sentences and lack the ability to respond logically are bizarre. I attacked no one, just questioned.

Seems you think that praying to the same deity that you believe is omnipotent and created the hurricane to begin with makes sense.

I am a first responder and help people each and every day. Not sure what you do, other than pray.

My life is great. Happy family, children are great successes, finances beyond the moon, going to Hawaii for a few weeks, don't believe in fascism or federal control of the states...

You have zero idea who I pray too. Nor have I provided it, frankly it has zero to do with the wishes of safety and security to others. Man is not capable nor should he be of judging who people worship unless it is causing harm or perversity upon mankind.
In regards to my career etc frankly that had zero to do with the post or this situation… although I do greatly thank you very much for your service!
I wish your family a healthy and happy life and certainly an enjoyable trip
But those things have zero to do with how you have taken this thoughtful post to the dark side
Projecting intimidation and questioning people’s sincere desire to wish no harm and safety onto others.
As far as run on sentences please forgive me
As Mark Twain once said
Never argue with an idiot they will drag you down to their level, and beat you with their experience
I guess I didn’t listen
Proverbs 26:4 when arguing with fools don’t answer their foolish arguments or you will become as they are foolish as they are
Boy, do I wish you kept going because my George Carlin atheist quotes would possibly blow your mind
