This is frerepublic. It’s an activist website created largely for the purpose of getting well-meaning people worked up. Perhaps you’re unfamiliar.

Further, if a website was created solely for the purpose of mocking, say, the Jewish faith, I don’t think it would be tolerated. But mocking Christians on a daily basis, as Lark.com does, is apparently OK. It’s not even that funny.

I am a Christian and I think it’s a hoot. Part of the problem is that as Christians we tend to go off half-cocked and do things that aren’t totally Biblical.

Lark News, The Holy Observer and a few other sites poke fun at us where it is needed.

What nonsense. You can’t prevent someone from praying for you, at least not privately. I can understand it somewhat if they don’t want public prayer, but there ain’t nobody gonna prevent me from praying for another person, especially if God puts that person on my heart.

I can’t even tell if this is supposed to be satire.

That's what makes it great satire. Given the sad state of much of the Church today, one could picture a plugged in pastor setting up a 'do not pray' list in order to be 'seeker sensitive'.

I would pray for you “Elias Al-Karim”, everyday, and I would keep on praying the more you asked me not to.

"It’s a violation to pray for someone without their knowledge or consent."

Sharon Grumman, a self-described "blue-state liberal freakazoid" says she was furious to learn that a co-worker had put her name on Peace Lutheran’s prayer list in Scottsdale, Ariz.

"Who gave them permission to practice their religious voodoo on me and my children?" says the single mother. "I consider it spiritual harassment, even if I do think prayer is bogus."

I know this is satire, but so many people actually feel this way!
