With such a diverse group....age, religion, politics, colour, nationality....people have different beliefs, cultures, history. I've always been open to listening to people's beliefs, open to discussions, tolerant and accepting of differences....but you won't catch me telling someone that because they don't agree with my beliefs that they are wrong.
If someone told you that in their view that only "born again Christians" had the ear of God and that He doesn't hear your prayers....then that person should be praying extra for Skid, and anyone else that needs comfort and prayers.
And Dan... don't stop what you are doing.
