Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I can't imagine any God looking upon you and not feeling fond and proud and a little amazed.
God, looking at Jilli: I did that? Cool.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
See, now that's harassment.
Per-zactly.

I'm very sad that it doesn't have the sleeves or the obi.

I can understand praying to be like Jilli; praying for her, NSM.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
My sister's doctor offered to pray for her. My sister, being acutely non-confrontational, declined to file any complaints, but it made her uncomfortable enough that she stopped going to the doctor (it's a pain in the rear to get a new one in her plan, so when I say stopped going to the doctor, I mean stopped going to any doctor, which is bad when you're an overweight smoker in her mid-40s).
I don't recall people offering to pray for me out of the blue, but I also didn't have a single stranger pat my belly when I was pregnant, so I think I just give off a "stay away!" vibe.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I understand praying for people, even -- like Aimee said, not praying they'll find Jesus or whatever, just praying that things are OK for them.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

This is one of the great, underpublicized benefits to the iPod! "You can preach for five stops and end every conversation in this car but as long as I have these white headphones, you don't exist."

Ooh! I should totally get pregnant to test if mine's solid.
Except -- mine's so good that getting pregnant is rendered complicated.

See, now that's harassment.
Yeah, that's what I (very politely and kindly) explained to him. He was aghast that it could be considered harassment, thanked me for warning him of that, and said that he still thought I was a bright girl.
The developer on that team who brought his bible to code bashes and tried to get us to pray before tackling a bug? He didn't get that his behavior was harassment. Thank goodness the death spiral of re-orgs allowed me to flee the team pretty soon after.

to get us to pray before tackling a bug?
And practicing magic is against the rules, right. "Oh, Lord, let us find the glitch that makes everything multiply by the GNP of Bolivia!" To which God says, "Um, working on the famines of Africa right now, let me get back to you."
