Ok so i was looking through youtube watching a random video and i looked slightly to the right and saw an ad that said "Christian prayer center" and apperently on this site you can make an account and post your situation and ask for people to pray for you

here is where i want some feedback [note i truly am not attempting to troll,i just want to test something and see how they would react on the site]

i thought of something,why not post something along the lines of "Me and my boyfriend just started going out" or "me and my boyfriend are getting married" etc etc and ask for them to pray for me and him [i am bisexual but not in a relationship with a man] mostly just to see how the people on the site would react...well i simply wanted to ask the people who read this if i should post that or not,if you get angry please try not to offend...much and simply put that i shoulden't if you think i should,put i should and if you feel like it,why.

that is all

I think you should. It'd be interesting (and possibly very funny) to see what these people say. I probably wouldn't know, as I'm not at all a religious person myself, but I'll bet most of the things they would say would be hilariously disapproving, if you catch my drift.

I'm not sure I understand what you're hoping to achieve by doing this. Although I'm sure it's harmless, it seems kind of deceitful.

Are you just trying to gauge how tolerant the site's userbase is? Are you hoping for some funny "ur a heathen lol no prayers 4 u" reactions? Are you hoping to be pleasantly surprised?

As long as you're respectful, might as well satisfy your curiosity, since you seem pretty determined to do it, regardless of what we think. Just keep in mind that the whole "prayer" thing is pretty serious for some people.

They might say "good luck". Who knows? There are plenty of religious people who are supportive of same-sex relationships, and there are plenty of LGBT folk who are religious.
