Off topic..but curious..
Since we are like some sort of dis-functional family, many times people share their losses or hardships on the board. As an act of support many people say Prayers sent.
How many of us actually say a prayer as opposed to just saying we do?
Personally, if I say Prayer sent. I say a Prayer for the individual either silently or aloud.
I don't wish to get into a Religious Debate..AT ALL.. I imagine those without a belief in God would skip those types of threads or just say my thoughts are with you or something to that effect..
It's my hope that this doesn't get moved to the Religious Forum..because I know what their response would be..I'm more interested in those of us that call the Bowhunting Forum, home.

I don't respond publicly to those threads.
There are a number of forum members that know that I have responded, in private. If I wasn't sincere....I woudn't waste mine or their time by doing so.

I don't reply to any 'prayer' type posts. If you want to pray to a god of your choice thats fine, but I'm not a religious person, and am not going to give the impression that I am.
I see nothing wrong with this thread in bowhunting BTW.

Intersting question you have. I would guess that many actually say a prayer, but likely quite a few either forget to do so, or may take the statement of saying "I will say a prayer for you" as somehow actually being a prayer. If I say it try to remember to do so, but have forgotten as well.

I don't think you mean it to be, but this thread is rather insulting. If you think so lowly of the members of this community, why would you be a member of it? You are basically asking who is not a hypocrit and a liar.

I think, in some way, by saying you feel for the person you are saying a little prayer. I usually take a moment of silence to address God directly, but just because you don't make the symbol of the Cross doesn't mean He isn't listening.
