I was not in the best of moods as I was trying to absorb all that was ahead of me. They wanted to pray with me regarding my diagnosis. I managed to not scream or swear but I did ask them why I would want to pray to the god that they think gave me the cancer in the first place.
As they tried to come up with an answer, I walked back in the house and closed the door.
How did they learn of your diagnosis?

They were making the rounds in the neighborhood. Someone must have said something to them.
That's just wrong. I can understand neighborly concern, but maybe they used your ailment as a way to get those turds off their doorsteps. People showing up at my house with knowledge of my ailments would get me pissed in a hurry. Bad enough my wife goes on FB telling people about my colonoscopy.

When people want to pray for me, I tell them to save their prayers for someone more deserving.

You might tell them to put you on ignore...that would be far more productive.

If you're torturing someone in a soundproof room and you're wearing sound dampening airphones, do they still scream?

Does it matter?
But yes, it is quite symphonic.

If a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it, a chihuahua 500 miles away will still bark at it.

When someone offers to pray for me, I say, ‘Wonderful! You pray for me and I’ll think for the both of us.’
