So for the rest of this day, I’ll be getting texts from 17 other people responding to this prayer request.

Edit: Other than the initial flurry of hearts and replies pictured below, it’s actually been pretty quiet, thank goodness.

    It’s a request in good faith. Why of all things would you take issues with this? Nor are you forced to abide by that, but surely posting it online, even with the names hidden, is sort of breaking a small social contract between you and them, thar you wouldn’t use their words against them.

      It is incredibly rude to ask someone not of their religion to pray. In addition to the minor annoyance of being bomblasted by emojis and texts.

      Another take on my post:

      “My relative is asking me to pray to Poseidon for calm seas while her daughter goes on a sea voyage to convert people into our cult of human sacrifice.”
