Non believers

Like I said, I said a quick little prayer before every takeoff when I was a pilot and then a little thank you when we got to our destination's gate.

I also prayed my butt off when I was in Vietnam. I think I said enough prayers to last me 6 or 7 lifetimes. And that my friends, you can take to the bank.

Amen.
 

I enjoy your threads too, Ina. :) You keep us on our toes, and keep things interesting. I am a believer, which I think other's have figured out by now, :) and I pray and also volunteer at our church one hour each week on Saturday's, for those needing prayers that are listed on prayer cards. Our church has been doing this for 24 years, and volunteers take one hour each week, and prayers go on 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If anyone ever needs prayers, let me know.
 
I'm one of those things, antaginists, who believe in the possiblility of a God or a Universal tender who takes care of those orbits and black holes, and other stuff, but does not interact with the earth's population. I still pray when the occasion demands, and in spite of all advice to the contrary, I have a cup of vanilla ice cream with dark chocolate poured over it, when the occasion demands. I may also be guilty of other small sins.

Athos, I never thought of my questions as surveys.
My questions are in my head, and I have no one to discuss them with other than my friends on SF.
I never intended to upset anyone with them.
I have said that I'm an agnostic, I don't believe in man made religions. I do believe that there is a force or forces that brought about the universe.
I use the word "pray" very broadly. I don't know if those forces acknowledge me anymore than it does a blade of grass.
I have never called anyone except my father a hypocrite.
I have never prayed for a wish, nor have I prayed for a being to hear me.
Even when my son's died, I only "prayed" that they had what they need to go forward, if there was a place for them to go forward to.
If I have upset you, then I apologize.

I am not in the slightest annoyed or upset. I am simply making an observation.
I don't know why you'd think that. To me a survey question is one that asks
people to comment on a broad question on a topic.
I am agnostic also--or atheist.
 
Athos, I guess we just look a the word survey differently. For me the idea of surveys is to bring about the gathering of information for other motives, and generally ones we have no idea of.
As I said, they are just question and thoughts that I wonder about. :wave:
