@ cyrnel: Ah, but for them, that IS sharing with you. For people who really believe in the power of prayer, it's the most positive thing they can do. The good people I know that are into it will listen to the bad day you've had, knock around a couple of ideas, and then tell you that they'll pray for you too. That's just kind to me. That's their sort of intimate, vulnerable thing to do. (For people like Hammy and Snowy, that is.) I'd think it takes a lot of cohones to offer to pray for someone, especially when you don't know their religious beliefs OR you do know they don't believe your beliefs. Cohones to hope it will be taken in the spirit in which it is given.
MM - I LOVE that Buddhist idea. First time I've heard it, but it's *exactly* how I think of all of these things. I don't pray, but I do think of people and hope for good things for them. How can it hurt, right?
