Thanks for the tongue in cheek conversation. It was funny and cold. Beyond that, you can't be a teenager because you've stated that you lived 30 years as a Christian.

I would suggest perhaps its you that needs to grow up. When you describe my answers as being "cold" don't you think that's somewhat judgemental? Try and not confuse responses that disagree with responses that are "cold". Also try and not confuse a little humor with maturity or the lack thereof.

Just wondering why you would pray for me after saying "Not all non-Christians are atheist" as if I had thought you were an atheist. I didn't want to offend you, so I asked for some prayers if you prayed. Nothing more, nothing less.

you also threw the following in: If you do pray or ever pray again

I wanted to let you know I wan't atheist as your comments may or may not have led one to believe.

Faith is personal, I'd rather not use it as leverage against someone I do not know. I'd rather not make faith or prayers a weapon or a device of division.

Then just pray for me without letting me know you're gonna pray for me. The standard "I'll pray for you" comment when one learns there is religious disagreement is, for the most part, disengenuos.

Your mistrust is evident. Is it my moniker? I guess I shouldn't look for straight forwardness on the board.

There ya go again. Acccording to you I'm to assume you are straightforward and I am not. Its judgemental and hypocrital of you.

Regardless, I truly do appreciate your prayers. I need them!you do pray or ever pray again

Lol. You're priceless. I'd ask you to pray for me but I'm afraid you'd thank God for not being a lowly sinner like me.

Argue the issues all you want - but don't make it personal.

You assume and judge with nearly everyone of your posts. I did not say I didn't judge. I am just stating this because you have judged me directly. I Did not mean the "I'll pray for you" in any disingenuous fashion. Note that I asked you to pray for me after that statement.

I do not agree that religious differences make us incapable of praying for each other or stating that fact. I was truly looking for a way to part without bashing each other in the eye. I do not think I am better than you or have no sin. I fail all the time in my fallen nature. I need prayers very much.

"Then just pray for me without letting me know you're gonna pray for me."

My prayer is not meant to hurt you. I did not think to hide it from you or slam it in your face. I did not know that we needed to meet a prayer etiquette. I was simply indicating that I would remember you in my conversation with God and I asked for the same from you. I pray in private, I pray in public and I see it the same as talking or walking. It is not something I would consider I needed to hide. Unless of course, you demand that I not let you know. Then I will respect your desire. But, I did not mean to hurt you, just extend our conversation to our prayer life. Nothing bad.

God bless and good day. May you find peace in your life.
