everyone has a right to post and respond. If this bother you so much, whydo you read it, everyone is curious

I'm actually not reading it.

I just keep seeing the posts get bounced to the top and hearing it mentioned in other posts.

chill.

I'll pray for ya.

thanks, I"ll pray for you too.

I just meant that I think it distracts.

it's that kind of smug response, "I'll pray for you," that kind of drives me nuts.

I don't know, for me, religion and spirituality are deeply personal and I tend to keep it internal.

I'm not sure it's productive to keep discussing it in a support group community.

I'm sorry for stepping on toes, really. of course everyone has a right to post and respond. so do I.

I wasn't trying to infringe on anyone's rights.

xo

Amen for that! I've said and I'll say again, whatever get you through the night. Who is to judge anyone else opinions or beliefs.
Thank you.

I have had similar problems with understanding and accepting the thoughts, attitudes and opinions of others. But I've found that it gives me a wonderful opportunity to examine my own motives and my own fears and develop better ways of relating to others.
To me it's the height of ignorance to ask others to refrain from certain topics through the free introduction of my own topics. As Ann Landers would say, get over it.

Hi, octobersn!!!!
Ssshhhh!!!!! He might be listening!!!!!

I agree with tommymott. Get over it. A lot of people find help dealing with day to day issues in those groups through comforting verses or sharing their belief. Who are you to dictate how others find peace.

there is a difference between discussin it and bible bashin , personally i dont agree with bible bashin ,we will all have to stand before him one day and account for ourselfs , so therefore it should be a personal thing , but discussionin it , why shouldnt we discuss it , we all have the right to our own opinions, if you dont wanna take part then dont , do you believe in god? well some people do , some people dont! do you like ketchup on your fries? some people do , some people dont ? what does it matter

im praying for ya becuas u got some magior problems becuas u posted this

no no no no.... people SHUT UP!!!!! Everyone has the right to post WHATEVER they want and if this is how oct felt then so be it... and she is so right sometimes people just over board with things and it gets annoying... we all have our own belfs.. and whatever it may be then thats urs.. and just because she posted this doesnt make oct a bad person so u people who r feeling sorry and being like ill pray for you.. pray for urselfs while ur at it....

AMEN to you OCT..!!!

You say SHUT UP then you proclaim everyone has a right to speak .. erm a bit contradictory .. this thread says it.. so much cussing and all. Does that mean we ought to start a STFU I wanna cuss at you topic?

i was an athiest for 30 years and now a christian for 11. in either case, when someone said "i'll pray for you" i took it to mean that they were keeping me in their heart and thoughts. i can't find fault in that.

Angie22: You say everyone has a rite to post what they want, and you say octobersn... is rite. But octobersn... is trying to make us who have beliefs, weather God loving or Atheist, not post. That is sooo rude. In other word.. Make up your mind and get a life. ( I could have said bite me.. but I'm to polite.)

OH FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD! CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG? Or do I have to turn this car around RIGHT NOW?
