Please pray for my arteries after eating this monstrous, poorly-fat drained plate of hamburger helper....lol, j/k

I'm going to extend the only other Canadian post about praying...there's an inherent difference in religion between the Canadian and American society. Using any way you want to calculate one's involvement w/religion, the stats prove that Canadians on average hold less value for religion in our day-to-day lives. Now, i'm not an atheist, but one thing i noticed on this board two & and half years ago is that quite often during a need for comfort or loss of tragedy, a poster would ask for a prayer and many would respond. Interesting, i thought, because never in any form of communication in my life growing up did i hear someone ask to keep another in my/your prayers. But nevertheless, i didn't find it to be offensive or disrespectful - just a way for someone to mourn.
