The USA will not be destroyed by this. I'm an expat American and I can say that the freedom and liberty that the US stands for will not be dictated to by terrorists. For the people who committed this atrocity, may God have mercy on their souls.

Let us all pray for America and it's citizens, even those of us who are not religiously inclined.

I am, however, comforted by one single thing, America has the power to obliterate whoever did this and I am assured that they will pay dearly.

I'm Catholic so I hope I don't offend people here, but I'd like to remember those fellow human beings who were taken prematurely from us today, innocent of political machinations, their lives cut short by this act of pure evil. May God take them into His paradise.

Amen. My thoughts are with those who left this earth in these disasters, and their relatives. Why can such a horrible thing happen in a beautiful world like this?

I am an atheist but there must be SOMEONE who can help us in this plight. And help we need. The poor people who died, may their souls rest in peace.

Memnoch, I think today, in a situation like this, all the lines between us are erased. Amen.

It's incredible how this can happen

I truly hope the planes who crashed were not hijacked in mid-air, that would be only make it worse

in truth, I am wiccan...

will pray to the victims on the plane, the buildings, and ones who died in hospital afterwards....

ok here's the prayer I often used from the books

There is great sadness
the cherished ones has gone

Emptyness engulfs me
Loss languishes within
Help me bear this grief

Accompany their spirits
Comfort we who grieve
Let us rejoice in their life

May their essence be recorded
Renew our rememberance with peace

I will certainly offer my prayers.

I only wish I could offer more.

I am Wiccan/Catholic. I offer a prayer to all those souls that have died and are suffering, as well as to the survivors who will have to endure the loss of everything they knew, be it lost loved ones, lost security, and especially of a loss of a feeling of peace. May the Goddess watch over the world that we do not unbalance ourselves to the point of destruction.

my prayer will also include the ones who LOST their loved ones or relatives...

Kaz 09-11-2001 12:24 PM

I pray to anyone who will listen that the souls of the people with the poor, twisted minds capable of devising this plan will find peace. I cannot think of anyone who deserves to live that state.

I am Christian/Wiccan.

I pray that the souls of those who have died are at peace.
I pray that the Spirits comfort those who remain.
I pray that those who have perpetrated this horror on innocent people are brought to justice!!!

I will see if there is an incantation for the truth to be revealed or if it can be divined.

I need to go "hug a tree", but I'm at work and CAN'T LEAVE!

Amen Memnoch. I saw the destruction on TV and I prayed that God would have mercy on the poor people caught in the buildings. The only thing anyone can do now is pray that those who did this will answer for their crimes at the last day.

And Dragonmage..Christian/Wiccan???

Peace be with you all.
Peace be with our countrymen.
God Speed to bringing a swift end to terrorist acts against ANY country with as little bloodshed as is possible. There has been enough already.

My prayers go out to the victims flown into the World Trade Center to their death, the victims of the resulting devastation, the victims in the streets when the buildings collapsed, the victims in the Pentagon, at the State Building, and on the flights that have crashed away from those sites as well as those left alive, without their loved ones who were so brutally taken away and the safety of those left alive to deal with the destruction and healing, both physical and emotional.

I pray for our military personnel that they will not be used and killed in any acts of retaliation against what has happened today.

I pray for the world.

I offer the following prayer of the Mystic, my own beliefs, in the hope that it can bring comfort and hope: The Great Invocation, dedicated to those who have lost their lives, and to those who will risk theirs to defend us.

<font color="#ffffff">From the point of Light within the Mind of God,
Let Light stream forth into the minds of Men,
Let Light descend on Earth.

From the point of Love within the Heart of God,
Let Love stream forth into the hearts of Men,
May Christ return to Earth.

From the Center where the Will of God is known,
May Purpose drive the little wills of Men,
The Purpose which the Masters know and serve.

From the Center which we call the Race of Man,
May the Plan of Love and Light work out,
<u>and may it seal the door where evil dwells.</u>

Let Light, and Love, and Power,
Restore the Plan on Earth.
</font>

Uh, yeah. Sounds weird, I know, but I'm VERY unconventional. I'm very tolerant and open to other's beliefs (even if I don't agree). I was raised non-denom. because my Dad denounced Catholicism (he and his siblings were treated poorly and he HATES hypocrites and feels most Catholics are [not my opinion]) and all other organized religion. I was not allowed to attend any kind of church growing up. My Mom was 7th-Day Adventist, then Baptist, but stopped going to church because of Dad. I had many religious friends in school trying to talk to me about God. I didn't want to listen. But I'd been reading the Bible since I was six. Then one day, my Senior year, I asked one of my best friends what all this meant that she'd been telling me about being "saved". She nearly choked on her breakfast! http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif She and I talked off and on all day and then that night. She led me to Christ. I was saved that day, but I AM a genius and very inquisitive. I've always been interested in EVERYTHING. I got to comparing other religions with my own and decided that everyone else didn't need to be WRONG. I believe most religions have a common thread in them. A central Deity and others who serve that Deity. Christianity is the same. God and the angels (and us). Wicca doesn't really believe anything much different. We just call entities by different names. Where Christians may invoke angels to help, Wiccan invoke elemental spirits. What's the difference? I just add to the Wiccan that, above all other spirits that help us, God reigns supreme. My ideas are hard to explain sometimes. If you want, I can go into more detail. I don't mind sharing what I feel or believe as long as I'm not ridiculed. I know why Larry seems reluctant to share his faith - being shot down hurts, but I'll take my chances with you lot. http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif
