In support of the Prayer Requests ...


Mar 21, 2011, 1:19 PM

Earlier today, when prayer was requested for the victims of a local tragedy, a few posters took it upon themselves to speak out against the value of prayer in general and the appropriateness of prayer requests on a sports forum.

This is a cuurious arguement to me.

I am told that prayer requests have been a popular part of Tigernet since its inception. Tigernetters both request prayer and respond positively to prayer requests on a regular basis.

It's easy to understand why. Statistically, 93% of Americans claim to be religious and 88% claim to pray at least once per week.

Yes, most Americans are in fact religious/spiritual in some respect and the vast majority actually believe in the power of prayer.

Agnostics and atheists represent perhaps a growing minority, but a minority none-the-less.

T-net prayer is NOT a Christian issue, and it need not be something that has to be strongly debated here by the opposite poles of the spectrum.

Most Tigernetters are not "Bible Thumpers" and most are not "Total non-believers" ...

In fact, if the demographic of this forum parallels American society (and there is no reason to believe otherwise) then the vast majority of Tigernetters believe in a higher being and believe in the power of prayer.

That's why I feel personally compelled to make this post in support of prayer requests on Tigernet regardless of the fact that it is classified as a "sports forum" ...

Belief in a higher power and being a Clemson sports fan need not be mutually exclusive.
