well, if there was ever a time when i wished that i was in the outer reaches of Mongolia, without a computer, this would be one of those times.

i thought it was a good idea, because i am personally tired of reading about something that references prayer, etc. in so many threads. YES, i believe in faith and am a moral person who treats people fairly and sees that their needs are taken care of, if i'm able to do so........so, let's nip that one in the bud.

however, i didn't intend to start a firestorm. and i didn't intend to see people get mad, get snippy and get rude and argumentative. that didn't occur to me. YES, that was stupid on my part, i see that now.

at first, i thought that one person was just interested in finding out how people really felt. after reading Doc John's response...i find that to probably not be entirely true. i encourage thinking and responding. that's how i learn things.

again, i give up. please close the thread. just don't offer to pray for me in any thread, unless i ask for it. and please don't tell me that your way of faith is the only way. AMEN........cordially and respectfully, notnearlyasnormalypatty
