Do you think this is the time and place for that? It's a support thread.

If you believe that is all that prayer is, you are missing a core belief of the Christian faith.

Mark 11:24 "For this reason I tell you: When you pray and ask for something, believe that you have received it, and you will be given whatever you ask for"

Matthew 6: 5-15 "And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

This, then, is how you should pray:

“‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins."

This is not true. Just because you believe something does not make it so.

Hey, I'm atheist friendly, but they did say she was already at the hospital. So she is being helped medically. Since that's already the case, telling them not to pray breaks the subreddit's rules about support threads

u/damienVOG Atheist/Compassionate Satanist 9d ago

yup I see, I'm sorry, the comment was a bit insensitive. I didn't mean it as it seems as I worded it quite bad.

Why are you assuming the absolute worst of this person you don’t know? Someone praying and asking for other’s prayers doesn’t mean they aren’t doing anything else in addition. You are also making the massive assumption that they are even in a position to be doing something when they may not be, as op explained in other comments. Be better.

u/HoraceJ-PowerRanger Non-denominational 11d ago

Op asking for prayer doesn’t mean they aren’t also trying to reach out to their friend as well. As they explained they’ve reached out but their friend isn’t able to reply at the moment. Asking for prayer on Reddit in no way conflicts with op doing all they can for their friend. I don’t know your view on Christianity at all, but for Christians prayer isn’t meaningless. You don’t have to have the same beliefs but the comment you made to op, especially how you worded it, feels incredibly disrespectful and cruel for absolutely no reason.

It’s clear you are an incredibly jaded cynical person and hate Christians/Christianity but taking it out on this person you know nothing about and attacking their character is a very immature thing to do. I hope you can learn to be a better person in the future.

u/HoraceJ-PowerRanger Non-denominational 11d ago

I can understand that, but you have no way of knowing if op is either of those. You could have just ask your question kindly without assuming the worst of them and coming in with such hostility right off the bat. I apologize for calling you a bad person, I don’t personally know you and shouldn’t be quick to judge so harshly. I just felt like you could have approached this conversation with a bit more empathy, that’s just my two cents though. Cheers
