Should I pray for my atheist uncle?

First…it doesnt matter what crazy stories u’ve heard. Forget them and worry about urself and your life. Second…u should never impose your own religious beliefs on anyone else. WE all have our own idea of god and if this even exsists. My belief system isnt like urs and I know I’m not going to hell just because I dont believe in what you believe in. Whether a person is athiest or muslim/christian/hindu/buddist etc…its just fine and by accepting people for who they are and what they believe in is bigger than if religious beliefs are just that or true at all. Dont judge your uncle. Being judgemental clouds your senses and thats not a good thing. Just be accepting and love and pray for whoever comes in your life. Theres nothing worse than wishing or hoping or telling someone that their life is being judged by what you believe in. AT the end of the day, we are all just people of different races/ethnic backgrounds/religious ideas/beliefs but that doesnt make up our genetic world. your character and personality and how you treat others is what any person sees first. We all make mistakes and do sinful things and immoral things at times but is this a reflection of our religious beliefs?? or is it a reflection of who we are? I’m not fanatical and I respect all religions and never judge someone because they may go to church or temple or synagogue etc…People are who they are regardless of religion. No matter what you believe in, you should always hope for goodness and pray for good health and happiness for someone else. This is your family and you shouldnt even be questioning it. Funmail me if u’d like to talk more.

If you want to pray for him, that’s your business. I think it would be a good idea if you sat down and got to know him better. I’m not saying you have to let him try to convert you - I’m saying that you seem to have a lot of misconceptions about us atheists and it might bring you guys closer together if you understood him more.

Of course you should pray for him,and ya’ll who answered negatively need to chill.Just because he is an atheist dosen’t mean geiteweide here, can’t pray for him,because even though it’s not in his beliefs,it’s in hers to pray!!!And besides,she didn’t know,ok,that’s why she asked for advice because she needed ADVICE not people jumping all down her throat.Ya’ll shouldn’t have answered at all if ya’ll we’re going to be mean!!!

Well, his leg wasn’t really badly broken and he had to sort of laugh about himself. He said that it was the best proof of God’s existents so far. A miraculous healing in revers, suiting for a non-believer. I agree with him. Luckily enough for atheists that there are not that many places like Lourdes in the world. One could even say that the world would be a safer place without places like Lourdes… for atheists that is.

* He is not one of those dangerous atheist you hear so much about lately.

You don’t suppose that’s because people are just spreading nasty rumours about atheists, and in reality we’re no more likely to be dangerous than anyone else?

The prison population is roughly 1% atheists, but the general population is closer to 10% atheist. That means a god believer is 10 times more likely to be dangerous than an atheists.

So let me see if I have this straight. He went to Loudres, where Mary is said to heal broken limbs. While there, he broke a limb, forcing him to return early from his trip. Am I missing something here? Wouldn’t having his limb miraculously healed be a pretty good way to change his mind? Don’t you wonder why he has his doubts?

If you feel compelled to pray for your uncle according to your own beliefs, by all means do so. But if he refuses to change his mind, you should respect his wishes and not force the issue of religion with him.

Not his heart! His leg!!

YES PRAY FOR GOD TO WORK ON HIS HEART

“Luckily enough for atheists that there are not that many places like Lourdes in the world.”

Unluckily for atheists, there are many people in the world who believe in places like Lourdes

I’m sorry your uncle broke his leg, but there’s something sort of ironically funny about someone going to Lourdes and getting injured.

Definitely! The Lord has a way of opening the heart of unbelievers!

dangerous atheists? are they dangerous because they do not agree with your beliefs?

Absoutly!

Dangerous athiest?

“If there is such a thing, I think he is a good atheist.”

~_~

your a creep.

lol, dangerous atheists? who have you been listening to?

The greatest gift you could ever give anyone is prayer.

Yes you should pray for him.

“He would never mock me for my believes”

yet he is judged for his…

“He is not one of those dangerous atheist you hear so much about lately.” “ If there is such a thing, I think he is a good atheist.”

I think you need to learn more about atheists. They are no more dangerous than anyone else.
