Can I just say something and truly let you know that I say it "with love"? My pastor always tells me when I have questions that "no question is a stupid question when your learning about Jesus and Christianity" .... yet, when I ask questions here to learn, many times I am feeling quite ridiculed (which is why I tend to not ask questions) or often feel embarrassed as if I don't know what I am doing or left feeling that what I asked was stupid. When you answered my question about a prayer with "then say nothing, you can't get no quicker than that", that did hurt my feelings and it didn't help me. Christians are constantly being talked about as being hypocritical because we are supposed to be models of Jesus, and many don't see is portraying this at all. Times like this help me understand how they can feel that way at times. It all goes back to that saying of people not saying anything at all if it's not nice to say. From the beginning, why couldn't you have just said that I should just find it in my heart to say what comes naturally to me and that it will be fine - that it does not have to be recited. I just don't truly understand why you would take someone like myself asking a question from the heart and tell me to just not say nothing because it was not meaningful if it was recited. I truly considered leaving this website because I don't want to have any negativity in my life from something that I had truly hoped to learn from. I just think that it would be more meaningful if we could all speak kinder to others in all instances. I hope you understand that I am not criticizing you - I am not. Just wanted to share my feelings as well.
