Dear "God-guided" Pious Bob,
I pray for the person who wrote you the comment putting down your faith in God. In doing so it made me think of how sad it is that there are people out there that don't have anyone to pray to. Surely they don't pray to themselves, or maybe they do. I can't imagine my life without anyone to pray to or anyone to trust with my life and death. I've gone through a divorce and lost both of my parents in the last five years. I certainly couldn't have made it without someone I could pray to and trust in, because I certainly lost control. I guess I could have done a better job in trying to keep my marriage together, but no matter how hard I tried, my husband's unfaithfulness and verbal abuse continued. I had to trust in God. Knowing that my mom and dad were together in God's Eternal Kingdom gave me peace. I continue to pray for your non-believing commentor.  Please keep up your good work for our Lord!
God's Blessings to you.
Charlotte M.

Dear Charlotte,
Your sensitivity, concern and prayers for the condition of the negative commentor is admirable.  As you said, it is hard to imagine life without someone to pray to, to connect with, to fully trust in as we make this life's journey.  Especially in knowing that we are God's children for eternity.  When we turn to Him in this natural life, we can experience the joy of eternal life as we live out our lives here.  The key for us is the "turning to Him".  As children of God, he seeks us and wants us to turn to Him, but we can certainly shut Him out if our desire to control and our egos override our seeking.  Your praying for the negative anonymous commentor is certainly a way of helping that person.  Who knows, their view of life and God's part in it may change through your prayers even though the person may never know it.  Once the person lets go and lets God, however, they will realize how intricate life in God through Christ really is and feel the power of your prayer.
God's Best to you,
Pious Bob

It's me again Mr. Pious. Like I could care if Charlotte prays for me. By the way, I don't see many comments from your christian buddies. You may as well shut this thing down. Nice job on the site creation, but wrong subject. Just like a bunch of jesus freeks. They don't want to talk about their religion cause it's a waste of time. I'm moving on to different venues. Won't bother you anymore. I'm starting to feel sorry for you. Find something new to do. You're probably a nice guy underneath all this. See you in the cemetery where we'll all end up.

Dear Anonymous,

There is nothing wrong in educating yourself, & I encourage you. When I was young like many others I went on my search, too. During that time, an Episcopal priest (Chattanooga, TN) said to me, "You know Susan, I'm not worried about you. You are searching for the truth, & because you are searching, I know you will find it" He believed in me. I believe in you, too.
