How do you deal with stress?

[healthfreedom]

Stress can be a danger to good health. So, I deal with stress by not getting stressed out! And if something tends to work on my nerves, I pray and settle my mind. Results = "no stress"

The attribution of result to "prayer" is unsupported by anything but your "faith", (and faith is belief without evidence).

I deleted my reply. I'm sorry you wasted your time.

Even though you deleted it, I agreed with what you said.  Many people enjoy uplifting comments, whether spiritual or not.  It's a shame that one person, in particular, tries to go in and completely make a thread distasteful because of not letting posters share comments back and forth of something that helps others.  Ultimately, it is the one person, who is showing their arrogance and disrespect to others, especially in a off-topic thread.  It is none of that person's business who believes what, when sharing things like that.

 The main thing to remember, is to not let anyone make others feel "inferior" or "stupid" for what they wish to share and comment back on.  Life has a bitter way, sometimes, of catching up with mean people, and biting them back with their very own arrogance.  No one in here should have to tread on eggshells, nor have to not post something, because of the idiocy of a certain poster coming in directly behind them, to bash and try to crush.  Instead, that certain poster is making a fool and a rotten reputation of themselves, not to mention changing the atmosphere of this wonderful forum from a fun thing to a sour thing, with regards to uplifting posts, that can be ignored when they don't apply to the poster.

An example of this is that there are many who enjoy getting their coffee and checking in here in the mornings before work.  There are several who do not enjoy that now because the very topics they enjoyed chatting about and sharing with others, have been brought down and are not happy.  Some have left the forum, while others just try to find other things to post with others about, and miss what they had with friends.  This is a rotten shame because it's suppressing those from speaking freely who have the same privilege as anyone else to speak of things they enjoy. 

But, overall, I understand why you deleted it.  Thank you for what you said, anyway.

Your opinion is inherently-biased in that it does not reflect the intent of dissenting posts which oppose the equally "distasteful" initial xtian proselytizing posts preceding them. 

It is none of that person's business who believes what, when sharing things like that.

Once such religious superstitions are made 'public', they intrude upon the "business" of others unless ignored or, opposed.  I choose opposition since the xtian's chose repetitious proselytization.

... because of the idiocy of a certain poster coming in directly behind them, to bash and try to crush.  Instead, that certain poster is making a fool and a rotten reputation of themselves ...

Oh?  You rant about "bashing" and then "bash" just after claiming not to bash?. In that case, the mind-blinded moronic views of a xtian fundie make fools of the ones engaging in them. Such hypocrisy seems typical of fundamentalist xtian religious adherents.  Once again, since you're demonstrably too bone-stupid to apprehend it; these forums are not some sort of exclusive xtian country clubs for the unopposed proselytization of superstitious nonsense.  As for your 'representation' of xtian mind-blindness; well-done.

[falcon9]

some time stress is not good you after to prayer to talk to god

Though your remark is barely coherent, it's revealing, (stress after pretending to "talk to g-d").

I do meditating!

[tinajacksonville]

Stress isnt good for the body. I deal with stress through playing relaxing music or playing my flute. Meditation is another good way to deal with stress as well.
