Would those of you who have answered here please also answer the "other" question linked above? Thanks.

Answer 1

I'd laugh.

Answer 2

I don't really care about that because the one true God does not condone praying for evil to come to others. In fact, if I knew someone was praying for my damnation or demise, my Bible instructs me to pray for my enemies. So that is what I would do--not anything bad to happen to them, but to pray that they would feel the love of God and to show the love of God to every living creature. (Especially to those who do not believe or believe evil action is something God would want.)

Answer 3

Sad that there is so much hate among the religious people in our world. Why we have wars and poverty and a lack of education and funds avaiable.
Sometimes it is done because people don't realize God is "not a God of partiality" as Biblical Scriptures say in several places, and is one of the definitions of a Christian God.
With faith, you do not have to do anything but pray for them.
Which I do on a daily basis.
Why would one want to pray for anything negative?
B. C.

Answer 4

Whether they pray for my demise or my benefit doesn't matter to me - it is just a prayer and has no influence whatsoever over anything (other than giving the person who prays a false sense of control/power). The only thing prayer actually accomplishes is on a psychosomatic level.

Answer 5

The people who lost their lives in the Twin Towers showed that prayer accomplishes nothing, Or perhaps God was ignoring them. They prayed until the buildings collapsed. The same thing happens with or without prayer. I would laugh at them.

Answer 6

Since I know in Whom I believe, I don't worry about it. What harm can they do to me in praying for my damnation or demise to a god that doesn't even exist?
However, I am going to wonder what I may have done to make that person so angry, and, if possible, I will try to make amends.

Btw, the God I know wouldn't answer such prayers anyhow.
(Just thought you ought to know.)

Answer 7

I pray for them to find the one true God and live a good life. Dwelling on things like that just brings you down.

Answer 8

I laugh about it because their gods are not gods at all but demons that are already defeated by the Lord Jesus Christ. If they think that their gods can do me harm and I withstand it through the covering of the blood of Jesus perhaps that will lead them to come to know the truth.

Answer 9

I don't think there is a difference between God there is no theirs vs mine. But to answer your question I feel sorry for them, they should be concerned with them and their problems. Let God send me to damnation because of what he judged of me, not them. They can only see what they want their opinion is their own.

Answer 10

Sorry for them! They are obviously full of anger and hate........that is a sad miserable life. I would never pray for damnation or someones demise. They need help for sure :)

Answer 11

I would pitty someone who does that to me. He or she burdens herself with something that, I believe, is totally untrue. But I would also be threatened. Someone who prays for my damnation could easily think that the tool his or her god would use to bring upon my demise is him or herself. Prayer could easily turn into action.
