Does anyone still pray these days?

Comments

[simon-ordained.livejournal.com]

Yes. *gives a small smile*

[sure-shot-honey.livejournal.com]

Isn't that part of the job description?

[simon-ordained.livejournal.com]

*chuckles* yes, I suppose it is.

[sure-shot-honey.livejournal.com]

And if it wasn't, would you bother?

[unhexed.livejournal.com]

They do. At least -- they do where I'm from.

[sure-shot-honey.livejournal.com]

Where are you from?

[unhexed.livejournal.com]

Transia. Most of it is pretty rural.

There seemed to be a pretty formidable religious following in New York when I lived there, though.

[sure-shot-honey.livejournal.com]

You're not wrong there. Although 'does anyone with half a grain of sanity and isn't a zealot still pray' is a rather clumsy sentence.

[chromagia.livejournal.com]

I try.

[sure-shot-honey.livejournal.com]

It's a habit that's easy to fall out of.

[mrsharker.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[sure-shot-honey.livejournal.com]

Do you find it has anything to offer?

[mrsharker.livejournal.com]

It can be comforting in a cold world. While the notion of an interventionist God is ... naive, given my own nature and the life I've led... it is of comfort to pray, because sometimes it is all you can do.

[sure-shot-honey.livejournal.com]

Now there's an answer that actually makes some sense. In a way it's reassuring to know that some can still garner comfort from it.

[marylyns-murder.livejournal.com]

beyond the 'holy fuck god why?'

[sure-shot-honey.livejournal.com]

*smirks a little* Not necessarily.

[marylyns-murder.livejournal.com]

Then... I'd say perhaps.

[sure-shot-honey.livejournal.com]

Hmmm. Whatever gets you through the day, I suppose.

[happeningflower.livejournal.com]

Yeah... I do. Or I try to anyway.

[sure-shot-honey.livejournal.com]

For anything in particular or just your general all-purpose job?

[happeningflower.livejournal.com]

I don't know... I just... pray sometimes. When I feel like I have something to pray about. Just little things mostly.

[dani-kypros.livejournal.com]

Every day, at sunrise and sunset.

[sure-shot-honey.livejournal.com]

Well, I have to admire the commitment, at least.

[dani-kypros.livejournal.com]

I do what I can. Do you pray yourself? What goddesses do you worship?

[sacredeyes]

I believe many do.
