Your opinion on "Prayer Shaming"?

[Alex K]

So what do you think?  Is it ok to tell people to get off their asses and do something instead of praying?  Or are we "shaming" people who are really just trying to offer their condolences?  Do you tell friends or family how you feel....and how do you feel about it?  Is "prayer shaming" even a thing, or are Christians again trying to play the "you are oppressing us by saying mean things!" card?

Once again, I am happy to live in an environment that is less soaked in religion. And no, I don't think prayer shaming is a thing. You merely remind people (and I think deep down they know) that their prayers are not really directed at the victims, but at themselves, as consolation and reassurance. People don't like it if you remind them of that and lash out as a knee jerk reaction.

Now that I think about it, I don't think I've ever seen or heard *anyone* in my family pray, if you don't count blabbering along with the Lord's prayer in some service, which I have done on numerous occasions as well.
