If you reason with an arrogant cynic, you’ll get slapped in the face; confront bad behavior and get a kick in the shins. So don’t waste your time on a scoffer; all you’ll get for your pains is abuse. But if you correct those who care about life, that’s different—they’ll love you for it! Save your breath for the wise—they’ll be wiser for it; tell good people what you know—they’ll profit from it. Skilled living gets its start in the Fear-of-God, insight into life from knowing a Holy God. It’s through me, Lady Wisdom, that your life deepens, and the years of your life ripen. Live wisely and wisdom will permeate your life; mock life and life will mock you.
Proverbs 9:10 MSG
Psalm 22:27-28: “All the ends of the world shall remember and turn to the Lord, and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee. For the kingdom is the Lord's, and he ruleth among the nations.”

You're welcome, ma'am. I'm glad you like it. :)
Modern Translation: it doesn't matter if Someone Is Wrong On the Internet, and you'll never "win" a flame war.
There really is nothing new under the sun, eh?
Absolutely correct, ma'am. Nothing at all.
Very good to remember.
I was thinking about something similar the last couple of days. A "Pearls before swine" sort of thing. I can pray for someone; but if they... defiantly refuse to believe in God, I probably don't need to tell them I pray for them.Or should I?
Thank you, Reverend.
Good things to remember! Thanks!
Linda, there's no one-size-fits-all answer for your question. It depends on the individual; some will be pleased that someone is praying for them, and some will be annoyed. You must decide for yourself. :)
You're welcome, NFO.
