I pray when I am under personal stress....that's true. But I find no
stress in this situation, just pity. And as I said , praying for others
is the Christian thing to do. GOD loves the sinner, but hates the sin.
I am glad you find no wrong in my actions. I don't either. :-)
Now, may I ask GOD to bless you? :-)

Just don't post those prayers...
I heard a wise man say, "Prayer doesn't change God, it changes the
person who prays."
The Hindus believe praying for someone will bring good karma to the one
who prays.
Whatever religion it may be, its a can't lose situation.

To believe something for which there is no proof and perhaps even empirical
evidence to the contrary requires a disassociation with reality, and for
encouraging one to ignore reality you just can't beat religion.

He told a Denver television station, "I did not have a homosexual
relationship with a man in Denver . . . I am steady with my wife. I'm
faithful to my wife." Haggard also said, "I have never done drugs--
ever. Not even in high school. I didn't smoke pot. I didn't do

Eventually, Haggard acknowledged almost all of the allegations
against
him, including using meth
Haggard openly admitted to the second, albeit nonsexual relationship
on CNN and other media. When asked if he had had additional gay
relationships that have been unreported, Haggard did not provide a
direct answer.

Only someone who is afraid of having their bullshit exposed, or simply can not

This is how I see it:
Try looking at it from their point of view: They feel they have
something so wonderful that they want to share it with others. Some
Christian organizations require members in-good-standing to spread the
word. And conversely, some Christian groups do not proselyze.
Many persons feel a need to be in authority, a need to feel important.
This need is fulfilled by teaching religion to unbelievers. The
progenitor of Christianity, Jesus of Nazareth, was known for his
unorthodox approach to preaching. He spoke as if He was the authority,
and not just a scholar of doctrine. To this day members have followed
this trend and have used it as a guide to the witness of spirit. They
experience fulfillment.
What you are feeling when you encounter proselyzers could be thought of
as an initiation of the Holy Spirit. But you are at odds with it, most
likely because you don't like the emotional content and you prefer
Peace. But the Christian way, right or wrong, addresses the issue as
Jesus purported, "I have come not to bring you Peace. I am here to give
you a sword."
And it is a double edged sword. Both you and the Christian proselyzer
experience the edge, side by side at the same time. And it goes
onward...
Here is what I do, if I can, when faced with feelings of resentment
towards door-to-door religion:
I recognize and identify the feeling of resentment within. Then I take a
rather slow and deep breath, inhaling the wisdom and knowledge I have
accumulated. I hold it my lungs for a few seconds, as if it was a drag
from a joint of premium marijuana. I then calmly exhale allowing the bad
to escape while retaining the goodness I trust. Subsequently, I pay
attention to my normal breathing as long as I feel the need. I am polite
if I communicate with the sellers of religion. I follow the
recommendations of secular etiquette.
That technique helps me get through the ordeal, works even with
Jehovah's Witnesses! :-)
When applying the method, if having trouble understanding the
manipulation of intangible concepts, I trust and employ my imagination
to fill in the gaps.

He and Bob were smoking a dub at the time.
Bob hides out of sight, then starts blowing smoke out the door while
Aldo trys to look down their blouses.
They start waving their Watchtowers in the air, finally asking if
something is buring in the kitchen (not knowing what the smell is)
After the thumpers leave, my neignbor's totally crack up ROFLAO, like

Not to worry, I think Trollsbane is a mutant X-man or in the Brotherhood
of Mutants. In either case, he's immune to the boogeyman.
Hey, don't laugh. This stuff is real to me.

Funny, that's just how I see it... I was born without a "god gene".

Whatever it is that makes one susceptible to that stuff just isn't there.
