[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ugh, these public requests for prayers and the subsequent responses turn my stomach.  They're so impersonal and perfunctory, like prayer is something you check off your to-do list before moving on to the "I'm a manwhore, ask me anything" thread.  (And I'm an atheist.)[/quote]

I am religious and I agree with this. Further, I think people post these threads in this way to draw attention to the story because they really just want to discuss what happens but somehow feel like just saying that is too wrong or something.  [/quote]

I'm the OP.  I was up late last night, browsing DCUM and other sites (mostly the news), came across this story about this young man who lives in my area, and I felt so horribly sad for the family. I just impulsively posted it here  so that others could send their positive vibes the family's way.  I am actually not religious, and I know not everybody prays, which is why I started off by saying "those of you who pray..." I should have also added something like "Those of you who don't pray, send good vibes" or something like that.

I know these types of things happen every day to people everywhere, but it feels more real when it's someone from your town.  My heart aches for that little girls' family in Colorado, too - I hadn't heard that story.
