1. Has anyone heard a prayer asking for someone else's death?

2. Has anyone considered answering such a prayer?

That's stupid. What gives any of us the right to choose who dies and who lives?

[slantedcross]

You've never met a god with a god complex?

[savemeomi]

No.

[ A pause, then a second text follows: ]

Why? You're thinking of killing someone?

You shouldn't.

[slantedcross]

[He smiles a little. Bit late for that now.]

Under no context would this be acceptable?

[savemeomi]

No. Nobody has a right to kill someone else.

[ Another pause between texts, and then a second one follows: ]

SO DON'T YOU GO DO ANYTHING STUPID!

[slantedcross]

Relax. There's nothing for me to do, except maybe stir up some discussion. Emphasis on "stir."

[savemeomi]

I hope you didn't give anyone here the wrong idea. Imagine going off to kill people you don't even know. How does anyone get to dictate who dies and who doesn't?

[slantedcross]

I can't imagine it. That's why I'm asking other people to do it for me.

Again. God complex.

[savemeomi]

Good.

But stop giving other people ideas.

[slantedcross]

It's okay because this isn't the sort of thing you can do without such a prayer to act on. I don't think people are really that desperate.

[He's lying.]
