[QUOTE="Kalevalatar, post: 60084624, member: 116770"] Christians should not be praying for tragedy and by doing so, Christians only condemn themselves. And why pray for tragedy in the first place when praying for Jesus to come to this person's life would do? Furthermore, to one's own detriment, a Christian may pray whatever, only there's no Fairy Godmother to fulfill all our wishes. So no harm done, except for oneself. [B]Mark[/B] poses an interesting question in his post [URL="http://www.christianforums.com/t7635977-3/#post59983425"]#29[/URL], though: [I]Should Christians pray that tragedy will [B]not[/B] befall the atheist, knowing that this could mean the atheist will end up in hell forever? [/I]To be on the safe side, Christians should probably pray for good health, happiness and long life for the atheist and Jesus Christ to this person's life. The problem setting here assumes that "tragedy" is the road to Jesus. [P.S. Report my post to fstdt (or is it defunct?) and I'll haunt you on this site forever -- and you baiters know who you are.
