I said a prayer for you all. I apologize for any offense caused.
I've been prayed for by a lot of Christians, many Muslims, a few Buddhists, a couple of Jehovah's Witnesses, a Mormon or two and a whole town full of Hindus when I was in India.
The efforts seemed sincere, for the most part... Were there any results, positive or negative? No, not really... but if I can make a fellow human feel more connected to their God just by sincerely listening for a few moments to their pleas to their God for my good fortune and or salvation, it's the least I can do for them.
In the humble opinion of this average Joe, anyone who resents the effort, is a xenophobic asshole who fears their own god in all the wrong ways.
Thanks to you and thanks to all the peoples of all of the Gods who cared enough to think of me in their most important and personal conversations with their perceived Creator.
My son's caretaker's Grandmother was in the hospital. She had open heart surgery but they goofed, so they had to go back in again, the same day. I didn't think she'd make it (I lost a friend on the table). Anyway, I put her on as many prayer chains as I could and today she is happy and healthy and once again getting out and enjoying life. You can't tell me prayer doesn't work, well, you can, but I won't believe it.
And for those that don't believe it, it may not help, but it sure as heck can't hurt so why get all upset about it?
