me and my family are so sorry we will pray.
My dad's in the hospital!! Please pray for him!!

I'll pray for him, and I hope he gets well. Prayers to all, he is in my heart, even though I don't know him so well

Poor guy. I wish you all the best and fast recovery. But why did he do such a thing? He must have been really really upset with something.

I'm praying for your family. Spend as much time with him as you can.
Boneheads have no clue to what prayer can do.

Prayer is just talking to yourself.
However, a positive attitude is good and I wish you and your father the best. A terrible event, truly. You are cared for by all of us. However,if your Dad makes it, it will be through the talent of the doctors involved and the science they employ. A mythological force, etc. will have nothing to do with it.

No doubt Billium appreciates Dahan's self-assured, smug, certainty regarding the metaphysical actuality of the world, and Jaguarphd's cold and inhumane reflections on the logistics behind the circumstances.
Dahan - do you think anyone is interested in the casual addition that you, out there, don't believe in prayer? How quaint. It's positively splendid that you expressed that on the internets, even moreso in Billium's thread. How positively enlightened of you.
Jaguarphd - clever boy with so many thoughts in your mind, eh? If only those thoughts also arose "Gosh, why would I imagine myself so uncouth as to express these disturbing reflections in Mr. Billium's thread at a time like this?" or "...who the hell picks a person's upsetting thread to impress everyone with how clever they might be?"
Time and place, both of you. Have some class, respect, and all the rest of the things this context might necessitate.
Dahan, feel free to wage a war against prayer in the Open Discussion forums.
Jaguarphd, feel free to speculate on people's suicide methods... elsewhere.
Goodness gracious, people seem to forget themselves...
Billium - this is an awful occurence... I'm sure there is much more to the story. I hope your father recovers, and the darkness with which he's dealing can be resolved - that this terrible circumstance might open up lines of communication that could be curative.

I will pray 4 you as well, but if the worst happens, then you will have 2 accept that him upstairs meant it 2 be like that: good luck.

Billium, I wish you all the best.
I believe this quote from Rael is the most valuable thing to have been written to you in this thread thus far. It would be easy to be distracted by joy and thanking god after a recovery; but please realise how important it is to communicate in a manner that was not possible earlier.
warmest wishes ....
wish him the best...
