Well the folks at Rapture ready have taken me under their wing and decided to pray for me.
I don't just mean one little prayer.
I have a whole thread devoted to my saving.

I originally enquired of them how they think prayer works and isn't it just a tad arrogant to pray to the almighty for a good exam pass or a good price for their house ?

Anyway "Willo" has taken a shine to me and decided I need special attention.................my special prayer page


------------------------------------------------------
"G'day!

I have just finished reading some of the posts by Pete. So I would like to open up a thread to pray for Pete.

Anyone else want to join with me in prayer for Pete?

Pete if you read this, just letting you know that we care enough about you to pray for you.

Willo"
--------------------------------------------------------

I have also been prevented from replying in the said thread.

Therefore I have replied in kind on the apologetics forum which unfortunately you guys can't view unless registered there.
Anyway here is the gist of my reply thread..................please fell free to add your wishes to my thread for Willo's conversion.


-------------------------------------------
G'day!

I have just finished reading some of the posts by Willo. So I would like to open up a thread of wishfull thinking for Willo.

Anyone else want to join with me in hoping that Willo one day sees through the nonsense that is the bible and starts to care about the here and now?

Willo if you read this, just letting you know that we care enough about you to hope that you see the error of your ways and start to think critically about your life here before it is too late.

Pete

See how lucky you are?

Whatever you did must've been bad. I'll slay a goat for you.

Can I get the rest of this forum to slay a goat for Pete?

Uh, no goats here. I think I can rustle up a beef stick though.

Mmmm....jerky....

I hate it when someone says they'll pray for me. It's a conversation ender. It means "I don't like the uncomfortable questions you are asking and I can't even think of anything to say anymore."
 
Pete, why do you think you are denied access to reply? Is this the RR standard? I am irritated because:
1. I would not presume to publicly post prayers for someone unless they would ask me to.
2. I would WANT to know what the "prayee" was thinking and WELCOME any replies.
I'm sure some if not most of these people are well-meaning, but to start a thread and put your name on it is just not right.

How about butchering up a nice block of tofu?
 
That is very annoying. I think many of those who habitually tell a non-believe such a thing, have a misguided idea of how it will come across. I’d bet some do it merely to inflame and avoid, but those who are truly well meaning seem to think it should be seen as a sort of gift (?).

It used to bug me much more, but, after making enemies of a number of the more cranky extremists and making friends of some of the more humane Christians, I’ve began to think this is a pretty good compromise when the religious discussion is going nowhere. I mean, if I had to choose, I’d rather be the focus of concerned prayers than angry plots :).

MLynn, from what I’ve seen of your posts, you make it very difficult for other Christians to give Christianity a bad name ;).

Anyway, no goats but I did have a couple chicken nuggets for lunch. I’d not give very high odds that an actual animal was sacrificed in their making though, at least not one a God would care to claim.

I think this request should be changed to "Slaying or consuming an alive or dead animal, piece of meat, meat-by product, or meat alternative product". I would bet that everyone could get on board with that!
 
Don't kid yourself.....most of them are relishing the thought of sitting around in heaven with Jesus----maybe passing around a bowl of popcorn............and watching you roast over a slow fire.
 
Hi, Pete.

Willo, hope all is going well. I was a member of your message board for a couple of weeks, but got myself in trouble for posting outside apologetics and am now banned (weepy sniff). I invite you and your friends to come on over and join us at www.randi.org and share your faith with us. There's always a ton of heathens to be converted here and we promise we won't ban you very much. I look forward to seeing you. And always remember to seek the truth, no matter how hard it may be.

That's good, Hex - will you pray for me too? :p

Sure, but keep in mind I pray to Satan.

My husband USED to be a skeptic.... Praying for you, Pete!

Ahh well, that makes all the difference!

You see, her husband used to be a 'skeptic', but now... he just believes any old thing.

Isn't that encouraging?


Rather than posting reason on that site, I think it would be much more fun to strike up a conversation about what else you can do *right now* to get ready for the 'rapture'.

Then start elaborating about your personal preparations, you know, wearing only conservative clothes of a certain color, shunning television. Never operating any vehicles as a courtesy in case you're 'taken up' right then. Drinking only spring water from bottles. Praying before, during and after every meal, and every hour. Do your homework. Read up on the rapture stuff. Sell it.

See how much it takes to weird them out about how far 'gone' you are. You never can tell; perhaps there are some there who are doing that already.
