Atheists: No prayer for disaster victims

[M45510G1C]

what utter nonsense...whatever happened to tolerance?

[Guest Zayit]

That's only for those who believe in G-d, they are to be tolerent of unbelievers, but it isn't a two way street, that would be righteous wouldn't it? And a house divided.

I'm so glad that God is in control and nothing escapes Him because I'm so angry, I'm in tears.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Don't get angry Keith, get even. Pray for the victims, AND for the atheists.

Thanks traveller and smiles, for the encouragement. Something is happening in my spirit. Hearing about things like this and the insensitive gay community in New Orleans holding their Southern Decadence "celebration" anyway (in the midst of death and destruction) makes me very angry and very weepy. My heart aches over these things. Actually, anything that's blatantly anti-God lately has this affect on me. I can't contain the tears. I don't know what to do but pray.

Exactly... if they don't think God exists, then where's the harm to them? It's a good thing I'm not the Creator because I'm feeling very lightning-boltish about some people right now.

Tolerance is a one-way street when it comes to Christians. We must show it and accept everything that slithers our way but we cannot have any freedoms or tolerance shown towards us. That's unconstitutional!

awwwww You sound like you're going through a hard time.Maybe if the bad things are rough on you, you could stop focusing on them for a while and only look at the good things? Remind yourself there is still a lot of good out there? Sometimes we see so many wicked,rebellious, rotten things that it can get depressing.Often I have to stop and tell myself that God is in total control, He knows what He is doing, and I need to learn to trust Him.

I hear you Kieth and I just might volunteer to paint the target for you my friend. Why can these people not open their eyes and hearts and see the truth?. You really have to feel sorry for them because they have no hope and nothing to look forward to.

After hearing President Bush's speech today about praying for the victims (and he kept repeating, pray for them, the country will pray, etc, etc...) this should send the atheists into orbit.

Thanks, smiles. I'm a very positive and upbeat kind of guy, but these emotions are coming from my spirit. That's been the hard thing. I know God is in control and have complete peace and rest in that. Things don't normally get to me. Someone told me they believe I'm feeling the God's sorrow in these things. I won't say that because I've not heard anything about it from Him, but it sure does keep me in prayer!
