<<In response to the question: "If you could have one prayer/wish granted from God, what would it be?">> (World peace, or no more children dying of preventable disease maybe?)
I would ask for a hug and to look upon His face so I can see Him smile.
Of course, I will be able to do this one day but I would like to have a hug today from Him.

In context, the thread was asking what you would ask for if you could have one prayer or wish granted by God.
Someone in thread commented that all the atheists and agnostics were asking for peace, end to hunger, or asking for God to provide proof of existence to more people. The Christians were asking for warm fuzzies.
Priorities, people, priorities.....
I really don't see this one belonging here. It isn't insulting to one's person or intelligence, nor is it a threat to another's freedoms. It is just a personal faith statement. Personally, I hope somebody (not Jesus, cause I do not wish her death) gives her a hug today!
Hey, at least she didn't say that she would wish for Jesus to come now and destroy all the godless homosexuals, atheists, commies, Muslims, Democrats, Catholics, and all the other heathens.
So, yeah, as prayers/wishes go, it's vain, narcissistic, childish, and petty, but at least it's not rabidly violent or something, as many of those posters often featured here would be.

You forgot to mention his/her post was in bright, bold pink. Nauseating.
Starving North Korean street orphan 1: Have you heard? Some person in the West is getting one wish granted by that deity, whatshisname... God!
Starving North Korean street orphan 2: Yay! Maybe this is the end of our suffering!

Starving North Korean street orphan 1: He... asked for a hug from his favorite prophet.
Starving North Korean street orphan 2: He.. wha... WTF?!
KarrieTex,
Peace is good.
Preventing disease is good.
Providing basic medical needs is good.
Feeding the hungry is good.
But if all you an ask of your god is a hug, You obviously are not very happy.
You do need a hug, A safe hug from a real person.
This is just sad
NOTE: at first I didn't find this very fundie either, but then I realized the sheer shallow selfishness of it.
So let me get this straight...you have 1 wish. You can wish for anything. You could end world hunger, bring peace to the Earth, cure all diseases, or even (hey, after all, this is a fundie who believes that all non-Christians will burn in Hell for eternity), you could even wish to make all men good and true Christians.
You could wish for any of that, but you choose instead to wish for a...hug and a smile from Jesus. A hug and a smile. That's it? That's the sum total of your wish? A hug and a smile?
And the fact that you acknowledge that these are things you believe you are going to get anyway makes you just about the most shallow, selfish, self-centered human being that has ever drawn breath on the face of the planet. Even Jesus is looking down on you going, "Oh for the love of me, what a dumbass!"
@Sandman: Thank you for helping to keep my post short.
It never ceases to believe me how fast some folk are able to shout, "This isn't fundie!" when someone is doing just what god (if you assume its existence) would do. God supposedly has the power to fix all and end all suffering, and instead watches the world burn with a bucket of chicken in its lap. This person could do a lot with a wish like that. And since they think they'll see god someday anyway, meaning they have more than one chance of this happening, why would one just throw it away on their fantasy instead of feeding people or ending war and disease? Fixing economies and removing dictators?
Fundie as fucking hell.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
