post_a_prayer - Profile (original) (raw)

on 18 April 2003 (#1010989)

This community is open to anyone who prays, of absolutely any religion including 'confused'.

It's a forum for posting prayers, your own or other people's, and for talking about them.

Why post prayers?

* To inspire/encourage/learn from each other.

* To pray for each other.

* As one of my friends pointed out: 'Posting prayers is technomagery of a sort - you post the prayer, other people download it and read it, and by copying it and reading it more power is added to the prayer. It's a more interactive version of a Buddhist prayer wheel.'

* Because too many of us are embarrassed about our religion, even though it's the best and most important thing about us. This community should be an embarrassment-free zone where off-the-wall mysticism, soppiness, made-up rituals and random emotional prayers off the top of your head are accepted and encouraged.

* Because praying online is fun, and a good motivation for people like myself who'd sometimes rather surf the net than pray.
