Prayer is a trendy thing to do and say when a tragedy happens. There are very few people I would ask to pray for me in a time of need....if you are a "religious person" you'll know that prayer, that will be listened to, is a privilege and not a right. Those whose sins have separated them from God and have not asked for forgiveness can pray but the Bible clearly states the prayers will fall on deaf ears.

The privilege of prayer is only given to a faithful follower of God through obedience to Jesus Christ or the sinner with a good and noble heart, seeking after truth and righteousness.

So if you're not a close follower of Christ and follow him with all your heart and faith your "prayers" are useless....

I am of the opinion that very very few people exist who's prayers can be answered....so most of you would be better off donating to a relief effort, I'm no Bible thumper....I don't even attend church, it's just my opinion

And of all Christian denominations only Baptists take the bible literally. Yet last I checked Baptists don't believe in confession in the sense that you confess your sins and pray for forgiveness the same way Catholics do. I could be mistaken but you just mixed two beliefs into one argument. Either way, prayers and thoughts with them.

On a side note, stop being ignorant towards peoples beliefs, if someone believes praying helps, then I beg of them to pray and be true about their beliefs, whether I agree it helps or not. Ignorance is stupidity.

How is that off? Baptist believe that the bible is the Word of God, all other Christian Denominations believe the Bible is a written after the time of Jesus as a book to live by w/morals.

Did I miss something? Is that in some way being ignorant or rude?
