everyone can pray for your grandmother ( irrespective of religion), since those who believe in god all worship the SAME god ( despite what some may THINK). Even those who dont believe in god, their collective will and strength will help.
Love, prayer, hope, are all universal. Once it comes from your heart then it will work..... even if it helps calm your soul alone.
But just know this, everyone is here for a certain time, and when it is your grandmother's time to go, then you can do nothing but be thankful for the time you had with her. Your father's time had not come even with cancer and heart problems.
Remember that, while we pray to god for well being of our loved ones, we should also remember that God takes back that soul when their time is up..... we may be sad for the loss of a loved one, but be happy for the soul that is no longer in a bodyand world full of pain and misery.
AND JIA, the girl came for some reassurance, NOT FOR you to come bible quoting for her and putting down everyone just cause they are not brainwashed like you.
Originally posted by Wolf_Girl15While I do not believe in God or prayers, I do believe in the human mind and body and the power that it has to heal it self. If someone believes in something strong enough the body can heal it in many cases, I wish you and your family all the luck and hope she gets better and the skill of the doctors and the knowledge that they have learned through science and head their instruction. Sorry about the last part but I still mean you and your family well.

This is hardly the thread to debate the effects or lack thereof of praying. Open a debate thread if you want to do that. Honestly... the insensitivity of some of you lot...
Wolf_Girl: I have had a lot of medical troubles of my own, and I have gotten through them safely. My thoughts are with your grandmother. Peace be with you and your family during this difficult time, luv. 🙂
The reason it makes you like fred phelps is the absolute inappropriateness of the statement. Do you REALLY, REALLY, REALLY think that someone who believes in God and is going trough an emotionally traumatic experience in their life, reaching out to strangers on a message board, cares that you have a scientific paper that says everything she believes is a lie? Gee, the compassionate atheist.
Still, no. Nothing like Phelps. Boris gave good advise: "If you want to do something for your grandmother..." I call that compassionate; just not the type of compassion she was looking for.
For myself, I wasn't even talking to her, except for a question that I acknowledged up front that she might not want to answer, and shouldn't feel pressured to.

Stop reading what is not there. Did I say that God was not Almighty? No, I did not. [b]God is Almighty but God will not override your unbelief. For example, no matter how much God loves you He will not force you to believe in His Son so that you can avoid Hell and go to Heaven to be with Him when you die. God will honor your lack of faith or unbelief and permit you to go to Hell. This does not have any bearing on God's omnipotence, it is a matter of your unbelief in His power to save you. In other words, the ball is in your court, and the problem is on your end not His. [/B]
