Atheist Prayers?
#14
RE: Atheist Prayers?
I agree Eilonnwy, I actually think it's wrong to pretend that you believe when you don't. You are disrespecting them and you are also disrespecting yourself. I think that thinking to yourself quietly is respectful enough without pretending to adopt someone elses belief system just to avoid uncomfortableness at a funeral. Also, saying you need to 'play a part' at a funeral is bs anyway... people of different faiths go to funerals all the time, you dont see jewish people pretending to be christian to fit in and avoid offending anyone.
