Does that include Jesus Titty Fucking Christ? Because if it does include Jesus Titty Fucking Christ we are going to have a real problem.

I don't know who you actually are, but your avatar is of one Patricia Kelly from southern California, who apparently really is quite the Jesus freak, but I'm guessing she would not appreciate her likeness being stolen and used as a disguise.

Yes, human stupidity is boundless. I hope your father-in-law is okay. I'll send a prayer for his speedy healing. You shouldn't call him stupid though. We all have accidents from time to time.
It always amazes me when I'm offered a prayer to an omniscient, omni-benevolent god. What exactly does the prayer add for One who already knows and cares about everything? I suppose it always helps to network through someone who is connected?

If you're wrong we just lost this one from ever speaking to atheists ever.
The last forum I was on several years ago a young Christian girl in high school came onto the forum and everyone went apeshit on her just like this. So she bailed. I sent her my personal email address and I had a back and forth, very productive conversation with the girl (with her mom premonitoring my responses first for obvious reasons) where we discussed a lot of things relating to why a person who was raised Christian later turned to Atheism and my justifications for doing so.
I think I did more good than everyone on the forums throwing continuous rancorous insults at her.
I appreciate your humanity and generosity but I think you're wasting it on some antisocial, middle-aged atheist man who would rather have a lark like this than actually enter into anything more serious. This strikes me as pretend by someone who just likes to stir stuff up. Just once, I wish these guys would step out from behind the mask at the end and discuss how they created their character and what larks we all had.

OK - I was nice for the limit of my endurance of niceness but this line...
"then that rock should also be a mammal or an insect or something by now. But there it was, still a useless rock, just sitting there. No brain, no self-awareness. Nothing" reminds me of every baptist asshole I've ever met!

And why pray? God works in mysterious ways, your pain is a blessing and will turn out for something good. What good does any prayer do in that case?
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

Exactly. But they really don't do it for comic effect. My own cousin is always writing stuff on fb like "god was good, everyone made it home safe". Would God be any less good if he had a plan that required a train totalling their car on the way home? The alternative is that god is good some days and a rat bastard the next.
No wonder everyone comes to think of theists as stupid. Unfortunately they just attract the dimmer lights. I know for a fact that theists can be bright, insightful, open and interesting. Sadly, so few seem to be.

There's no fucking way this person is for real. Go ahead and try to teach her and let the troll play with you.

You are the kind of person that makes my wife embarrased to say she is from Alabama.
Before I even bother to try and fill holes in your education have you even gone on the web and simply tried to look these answers up on non-religious websites?
FFS if you just google "sun" you would immediately read that the sun is an ungoing thermonuclear fusion of hydrogen and helium. Perhaps you don't understand what this means but at least take the time to educate yourself so you don't sound like such a dolt.

I just want to know which one of you is pretending to be her at everyone else's expense? I expect the joke to be revealed soon.
