I'm sick of all this "pray for Paris" shit, I refuse to insult the death and sufferings of Parisians and the grievings of their loved ones by allowing myself to be even remotely tempted into being pressured by theists into giving a completely fake bullshit prayer that I wouldn't even remotely mean.
How about "I feel deep sorrow for the sufferings of Paris right now" surely that is better than some imaginary benevolent dictator being prayed to when it comes to caring for real people who actually exist and are grieving and terrified?
Pray all you like but don't expect us atheists do the same.
I'm posting this because someone on my Facebook said "At times like this I think whether you're a Christian or an atheist you should pray for Paris right now."
I almost responded saying "Oki doki. I'll pray to Ra, that guy hasn't had much attention in a few thousand years, let's give him a shot. It surely can't do any less good than praying to Jehovah."
