| hidude10 Shoot Me, I'm A Newbie  Age: 34 Gender: Female Posts: 73 | I'm Morman (against my own will) and the funny thing is I don't believe in God. Anyway, the Mormans beilve you have to pray for fucking everything, and it's pretty annoying. I don't think it works. Just makes people feel better sometimes. I don't believe in anything unless I see it... |

| Matt Smith Admin  Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 31134 | Put it this way: I pray twice a day because I attend christian school; I don't believe God exists as I mayself am atheist but I join in anyway to save the hassle, its just a few moments of my time and doesn't mean anything. That isn't going to work. If you pray once in your whole life, and you actually mean it, and you want something so much, it might just work... |

| hidude10 Shoot Me, I'm A Newbie Age: 34 Gender: Female Posts: 73 | I_worship_tre_Cool: Sorry, don't mean to sound rude, but that's the most ignate thing I think I have ever heard all day. *sighs* Okay, the Mormons used to practice polygamy back like in the 1800's, but they STOPPED in 1893 or something. Quite a long time ago, don't ya think? Anyway, the assholes who still do it believe in dragging the name of the Mormon church through the mud, when really the church has said so many times that they NO LONGER PRACTICE IT!!! In fact the Morman church frowns on pologmay and it is against the rules to do it. If you do it, your kicked out. It's getting really annoying having to explain that stupid stereotype to everyone I tell I'm Mormon. So to everyone for going off topic, but I just had to clear that up. |

| Kurtni Admin Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 34289 | hidude10:Ok, before you call me rude and ignorant, read what I said. I said that if she doesnt believe in the religion and have faith in it, then she really isnt following it, so she isnt a part of it. She obviously doesnt believe in alot of things, so trying to convince her its a good faith is pointless and who was "dragging the name through the mud"? Maybe you get so sick of explaining it becuase those you explain it do never needed the explanation. |

| anti-christ of suburbia Idiot  Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 986 | i used to pray when i was in deep, like when my grandad was really ill. i begged god to let him get better. then he died, and i think god either doesnt exist, or just doesnt care about people like me, hes too busy givin the assholes of this world everything they want |
| Lucifers Angel King For A Couple Of Days Age: - Gender: Female Posts: 4751 | anti-christ of suburbia: i was asked a question about god and religion which seems the same things has you just said, boy: Why does god let us suffer and we are suppose to be his children? ME: Let me ask you would you give your child a skateboard? BOY: well yes ME: and you would tell him to be cearful yes? BOY: of course i would. ME: But you have to giver him freedom to choose yes? BOY:yeah ME: well god ahs given us the freedom to choose, and when we hurt ourselfs it is a learning curve, and nine times out of ten we will learn by our mistakes, we are his children and he wants us to learn. |
| anti-christ of suburbia Idiot Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 986 | Magne: that is a good point, but i didnt make a mistake here, and i learned nothing, i just lost someone who was very close to me. i used to believe prayer actually worked, now i know it doesnt, and i know theres no omnibenevolent god out there, at least not one willing to help me |

| WeeHez90 Shoot Me, I'm A Newbie Age: 33 Gender: Female Posts: 76 | nope i don't think praying works maybe it's just coz im an atheist and don't beleive but i do not think that praying works ! |
| rollerpig GSBitch  Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 62283 | Obviously not. Heard about that thing, a priest kneed down to pray, and the bottom crashed together orsomething .. |

| Ben thwarted Geek Age: - Gender: - Posts: 246 | Sometimes I find it helps... It's sometimes quite comforting... But it may just be coincidence. I'm pretty sure if I asked for a fancy sports car to appear at my doorstep with a ribbon and bow attached which said; 'I'm yous!' then it wouldn't happen  |
| robotchicken. Falling In Love With The Board  Age: 33 Gender: Female Posts: 8423 | anti-christ of suburbia:But doesnt death happen everyday? Your grandpa died Im sorry Im not trying to be mean but maybe it was his time. Like sometimes babies get born and then they die the next day. Maybe there's a purpose for it. Like to change the people they had an affect on. [people are prolly gonna jump me for saying that] |
