dvschic i think allowing someone to pray for you is annoying. why should i have someone pray for me? i dont believe. why should they be allowed to force their beliefs on me? i'm just wondering, not trying to start a religious riot

mykidsmom I think I would respond with something like,"whatever helps you sleep at night, I sleep just fine" Or a simple "thank you" there is no reason for anyone to force their beliefs on you or vice versa. If they feel like they want to pray for you then let them. It...

spalladino Well now, that's a tricky question, isn't it? It's not like there's a limit on the number of people one can pray for but I understand your dilemma. Do you say "thank you" when you're not a believer? Do you say "don't bother" and hurt their feelings or appear...

ivyoon I agree, it seems that those who don't believe in god or who believe in many gods are less quick to judge or ridicule others' beliefs than the "believers" are to judge them. That always bothered me somewhat.

ivyoon I wouldn't really respond to them at all... they're going to pray for you anyway if that's what they want to do. Some religious and spiritual people are actually afraid of athiests and the fact that they don't believe in god. They really do think that these...

dvschic thanks for your reply. the weirdest one to deal with is my girlfriends mother. she's very devout and always wants to pray with me. i have made it clear that i do not believe, and yet she still wants to pray with me. i dont take offense as much as i just wish...

ivyoon Oddly enough, your girlfriend's mother probably feels the same about you... she probably wishes you'd "get it"... that's human nature. We all have our own beliefs, and part of being a human being means that we have the right to our own beliefs and the right to...

Sheepie If they want to pray for me, I'm not a believer either, there's nothing you can say to make them believe that they're not helping you. I pretty much just nod when someone says something similar to this. But if I'm being forced to pray, I will mention my rights...

ivyoon Well said. It always amazes me how much "believers" try to force others into prayer and belief and the so-called "non-believers" rarely, if ever, try to force others NOT to pray or believe. In my opinion, the judgment all comes from the side of the "believers"...

Are corporations evil by default? A corporation can be thought of as a "soul less enitity" since it has very little liability to any single person when it commits crimes (i.e. a product kills someone, etc). On the other hand, the...

elmiko No I don't think their evil. Thats a stereotypical view thats got alot of people thinking that and the more people think that the more others seem to believe it as well. The more people say things the more contagious it becomes to where other people start...
