  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Amie could use some prayers.

Firstly, to the moderators of this forum. I hope I may be forgiven for breaking the "Christians-only" protocol. This isn't about me, or for me.

Though, being an atheist, I personally don't believe in the power of prayer (besides the positive impact it might have on a psychological level), Amie, who I love very much and care a great deal for, does hold that belief. And though she often prays for others, or might request one for others, she'd never pray for herself or ask others to do so. That's where I come in...

I know she's going through a difficult time at the moment, (as we all do at times, more or less) with the burden of many responsibilities on her shoulder, tough obstacles to negotiate, and significantly life-changing desicions to make, while struggeling with insomnia, and every unexpected turn life throws at her. I'm not going to elaborate beyond that. To my opinion paths may cross and lifes will intersect, but other's stories are never fully yours to openly share without concent.

I'd appreciate it, because I know Amie would appreciate it, if people here could say a prayer for her. :help: She could use all the love, help, moral support, and guidance she can get.

Thanks everybody, and take care.

With best regards,

Marcel.

Lord, be with Amie every step of this journey you have put her on. She is under a tremendous burden right now and needs to have it lightened a bit. Please take a bit of her load off her so she can make the right choices in these life-changing decisions. Show her, clearly, which way is your BEST will for her life. Give her reminders of your love and the confidence she has in you. And make this time one of those she'll look back on as a time when she was closest to you.

And Lord, reward Marcel for his thoughtful love for his friend, that led him, dispite his atheism, to post this prayer request. You said that whatever anyone does in your authority for anyone else, you will definitely reward. Reward Marcel for doing this loving thing for Amie. Amen.

I stand in agreement with everyone here. The power of Prayer isn't just for "Christians" only.. It's for anyone who desires it. It's the Love of Jesus Christ that permits it.
Marcel.. Take comfort and let her know we are Praying for her.
And thank you for letting us know.

Now prying for Amie! :pray:

Buggy :angel:
