National Prayer day

im not a christian but i still took a moment to be thankful for what i have, anybody else pay any attention to this ????

 

I did 20 minutes ago.. Asr.. Allah Akbar...

 

every day is national something stupid day. i can never keep track of what we're currently on.

 

I'm not in the habit of praying. Was completely unaware...I think because I'm not in the habit of praying.

Edit: I also don't know what country OP in.

 

It is always a good thing to pray. I am truly thankful for the freedom I have and my friends

 

My understanding is that it has been canceled in the white house this year and that it is being sent to judicial review as it is being challenged as unconstitutional. Seems non religious groups would like it stopped.

I do not pray as per say but I am thankful for all that is and I have.

 

why is it a good thing to pray?

seems like such a waste of time tbh

 

Prayer puts you in a frame of mind, that allows you to accept the fact there is someone greater than you are, and that person wants you to talk, as well as listen.
Prayer is conversation with a Supreme Being.

 

if that is your interpretation that's cool. prayer doesn't do any of what you mentioned to me. conversation with a supreme being is not a factual statement, and more along the lines of a "faith" based conversation.

i know have a better understanding on why you think "prayer" is a good thing though.

i just don't need prayer, or the need to speak to someone (?) that can't be proven to exist to have that "state of mind". but that is another topic.

carry on.

 

as for the "NATIONAL PRAYER DAY".. assuming a religious origination organizing this.. just wondering.. isn't EVERYDAY a prayer day? what is special about this day?

just saying.

 

haha that's today? god i'm out of the loop.

 

my guess is that people lose focus of things like this and need something to remind them. i am not "christian" i am not anything, but i do believe in the power of "positive thinking" and nothing bad can come from a day where everyone stops and thinks positively/hopefully of something.

 

Hahahaha...you call this freedom!!! Hahahahahahaha...if we were free then I could marry my wife and we would have uncle Sam's dick up our asses right now! It's just a cover up.

 

There's nothing really "special" about it. They started doing it 50 years ago or so as an outreach tool to try to raise awareness of God for non-believers.

Also, the Bible tells us that there is power when people pray in groups.
