Why is it that you can ask for prayers, but you can't ask for people NOT to pray?

Question

Alright so asking for prayers is /supposed/ to be against yahoo's guidelines. Whatever. But a few days ago right, someone in their comments said they'd pray for me. What? I don't want you to pray for me. So I posted a 'question' asking people not to pray for me. It was deleted and a violation was sent out before it even hit the page. So you can ask for prayers, but you can't ask for no prayers?

Or, you can speak about your beliefs as a Christian...saying to the public how you love God and all...but if you say anything negative, everyone gets in an uproar.

It just makes no sense to me.

no peoples, I'm talking about questions posted. How questions asking for prayers go through, but you can't ask not to be prayed for.

I love you Jesus M, you and fireball should get together and have babies. Sisterzeal can be the godmother. <3

Answer 1

Wow that is pretty crazy. You never know from one day to the next how things in R/S will go.

If they're going to delete one opinion then why not all. Not everyone has the same opinion. I can see reporting something that's truly offensive but unfortunately some people just don't care and report anything that they don't like.

Answer 2

yet you're nevertheless here, and God has a recommend for each guy or woman. you're never by myself even in spite of the undeniable fact which you experience which you're - he's often gazing over and guiding you. we are human beings that have emotions and emotions and from time to time the middle is prepared however the flesh is vulnerable. i've got confidence existence is a latest from God and we'd desire to continuously cherish it even in spite of the undeniable fact that at cases it sort of feels there isn't any desire! I even have confidence that our soreness and loss is a element of this worthwhile existence that he has given us. the line is long, with many a winding turns, and we'd desire to be reliable. you're specific in his sight - and that's the only sin, i became instructed as a newborn that he does not forgive us for and that's taking our own lives. Loosing human beings you care approximately isn't common for every person, yet might they be chuffed in the event that they knew you felt this manner? or which you're even questioning this manner? carry directly to each reminiscence, there they would be risk-free and their spirits provides you with desire and the desire to maintain on.

Answer 3

When we say wer will pray for you it is our way of expressing that we do care about your situation. You should be able to say you don't want pray, I feel this is only right. Sometimes it just gets messed up, don't take being deleted, this has happen to me over a question that someone took as being offensive, and it was not. I feel everyone has a right to their opinion, as long as we are respectful.

Answer 4

That might have been me, I didn't know it was a violation of the guidelines. So, I won't pray for you anymore. Its your life and your free will. :)

Answer 5

Gosh, ya think those yahoo question and answer screeners might be a bit biased toward the theistic mind set? I do.

Answer 6

Asking people not to pray is satanic attitude . It was deleted because many have reported you.

Answer 7

I'm not going to pray for you. Happy?

Answer 8

When someone says they'll pray for you simply reply in kind, with: "I'll /think/ for you."

to ":)":
Because it's condescending. Saying "I'll pray for you," is equivalent to saying "there's something wrong with you, but not me; so I'll try and fix you."

Answer 9

I think if you don't want prayer that should be respected.
God respects free will so should we.

Answer 10

Don't know - guess it depends who is moderating Yahoo at the time.
