    I dont believe in anything, but I still see
    prayer as something, now I see prayer as a part
    of my memory, something that was practiced
    through school and at home.
    I was very intrigued by the contest, but am
    sad that even though I don't know of a god
    (though I'm positive there is something) that
    I can't say what I believe prayer is,
    even though it isn't negative (at least I don't
    feel my opinon is negative.)

    I hope all those who enter find their god.
    peace to all ~flight

      How Sad

      To not believe in anything would be a lonely place. I will pray for you flight.

        I disagree, I have believed in a God,
        and I am so much happier now,
        not saying that religion made me sad,
        but what I believe in now I am so much more
        comfortable with, thanks for your thoughts,
        but I am discouraged that you think my
        ideals are saddening, I am a very happy
        and joyfilled person.
        Hope the contest goes well!

          well, you said you didn't believe in anything, so I took it as not believing in God as well...my bad...then you are in a good place...

            I don't? Ahah sorry, now I'm just a little confused.
            I think I just worded it wrong...I used to be
            a Catholic when I was a kid, but I'm agnostic,
            I'm in the best place I've ever been in though,
            so don't worry, I am confident in my religouse
            views, though I still have thoughts about what
            prayer is, that's why I thought it strange that
            this contest says only people who believe in God
            have an idea of prayer, I guess that's what I was
            trying to say. Aha, sorry for the confusion!
            And good luck with the contest, I'm sure
            it'll go well!

              aaa..nowhere in this contest does it say 'only people who believe in God
              have an idea of prayer' it just ask what is prayer to you?

                Oh, sorry! I just thought that that's what
                you ment by: If you do not believe,
                this contest isn't for you.
                Maybe I'll enter.

                        Aha, yup!
                        I just don't want people
                        thinking I'm a sad person,
                        deffinatly the opposite!
                        Be well!

        I'll bookmark and beback, then, with a few prayers ~ although, I'm afraid they'll be rhyming. No hard feelings - I just sometimes find that 'religious contest' means 'Christian contest' and I'd rather ask than get bitten ^.^
