Sure Christians believe in the Bible and God. But many people who pray do not follow any religion, or subscribe to the beliefs of any. Many also don't believe that God is the creator of anything.

If you haven't, what's your issue with people praying?!

Your conception of the god that you believe in is that it was the creator of everything. Its odd that you have any concept of something you do not believe exists. For those that believe in a god, they may or not believe that God to be the creator of anything. You neeitk move away from your own views and amalgamation of god/religion/prayer.

Who is harmed by that GP praying? What does it have to do with you or anyone?

Reap/sow.

Yep, pretty poor show given that Scottish lady had to resign for visiting her holiday home. There has to be consistency.

Spot on. Our approach has been a shambles. Slow, indecisive, confused, just plain crap.

You asked for an example of a prayer which had no impact on a third party. I gave you such an example. You have absolutely no argument against what I have said so have responded with utter nonsense. Sometimes one just has to "I'm wrong". Give it a try.

You miss my point.. How would it effect you, ie where is the harm?

Example. I could pray that you develop an ability to understand other people's opinions. It may help me knowing I've tried to help you. Tell me how my doing that without your knowledge impacts you.

1 and 2. if I do anything that has zero impact on anoyone else then it's not an issue.

Not at all. If I'm comforted by prayer, explain how that impacts on you. It's pretty clear from what I've said that what I or anyone else feels about prayer, God , religion (3 separate matters which you refuse to separate) is a personal matter. In shorr, my beliefs have feck all to do with you.

Comfort is a subjective feeling. Literally nobody other than me knows if I feel it. The deeper you dig, the more moronic you become.

Thanks, very interesting and helpful to see how we've obviously been failed by the government laid out so clearly.

Apparently it impacts him if you do. He can't explain why though.

Oh the irony.

If you want to debate mate, you have be willing to answer questions even when the answer fecks your argument. If prayer by person a for peace for person b gives comfort / peace to person a, you know full well that it causes you no harm. Sure, it may well be misguided in your opinion, but it has feck all to do with you and/or causes you know no prejudice.

If never looked at it that way, but it makes sense.

Really sorry to hear that. Thoughts are with you and your wife.

I won't ask for a 7th time. I'll drawer an inference from your persistent refusal to answer as an acknowledgement that someones prayer for someone else to have peace, does not impact upon you. When you an argument to the contrary, come and explain.

Absolutely. It's lockdown lite. The wetness was highlighted by the Boris situation. Rather than being told he's OK and a precaution, we should have been told that he's in a bad way and at extra risk cos he's a fat bastard. May have stopped a few people going out for their "essential" cake or ice cream.

Just focus on the prayer being for peace for others. No mind changing. Just peace. 6th time : Q. How does my neighbour, praying only for peace of others (not asking for God to change anyone's mind), impact on you or anyone? When you have the grace to accept that it doesn't, then please explain why you have any right to challenge or police what she believes and her private right to prayer

We will end up with the worst death count in Europe. See this post, and check out the IHME article it refers to. The downplaying of it in this country and the attempts at positivity gives the wrong message. Our government have been inept and wet. The only message that should have been given pre bank holiday weekend was that our death curve is going up not down, and that's down to the idiots carrying on as normal, that'll it get worse if they carry on, and that the lockdown lite will turn into lockdown plus if they don't sort themselves out this weekend.
