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

2. Has anyone considered answering such a prayer?

Oh, I haven't worried about that in a long time...

Being able to sleep at night, on the other hand. That might be a concern, if this was really happening.

[heatupnever]

Sleep is overrated.

There are plenty of people who want other people dead. Doesn't mean you have to listen.

[If that contradicts other things she's posted... Well. It's complicated.]

[slantedcross]

That's true, too. Most prayers probably don't get answered in general. There's only so many of us.

[heatupnever]

Not every prayer is serious too. Or sane.

[... Not that she would know anything or anyone like that.]

So are you satisfied with the answers you got?

[slantedcross]

I'm satisfied no serial killers answered.

[heatupnever]

How would you know? Not like it's attached to the phone or name or anything.

[slantedcross]

Ah. You're right. Serial killers are usually pretty adept at appearing normal, even charming.

Then I don't have any reliable conclusions. I can't ignore the possibility everyone was lying all along.

[heatupnever]

Probably. Even if they were normal, it's not the sort of thing they'd admit, right? Plus people do weird things when they're scared and think they're right.

[slantedcross]

And if they are scared, they're probably more likely to think they're right.
