Can prayer change God's perfect plan?

It is mainly used for making fun of people of faith and pointing out every time a religious person does something bad.

I'm confused, if that is all it is here for why are you here? If we are just bullies why are we friends with you?

In reality, not a biased Christian opinion, this site is a 'saving grace' for a lot of us. For those of us that are surrounded by religion and the religious, for those that are told in daily life how we are horrible people because we don't believe in magic, for those that feel alone to have somewhere to go and someone to talk to. I live in central Texas and I will tell you right now as an atheist it isn't easy and I don't know many people who don't think I am going to hell. Just to have someone on my side means the world to me. I found this site last June and I have become so much more comfortable in my own mind knowing that I am not the only one that thinks like I do. The religious go to church and they feel better being with people that agree with them. They like going somewhere they aren't thought of as idiots. We like that community feeling too. Yeah we make fun of the religious but this is our safe haven to do so. We ARE human. I can tell you for a fact that I have heard the judgments of Christians toward atheists IN church. That is no different than this site.

I sit here and get told that my state thinks it is okay to let religious people tell me I am unfit to be a mother by denying me the right to adopt so I go to my friends here on this site and yes I complain. I ask how some people have the audacity to tell me that THEIR religion deems me an unfit mother and keeps children away from good homes. You have no right to say that this site is just for making fun of people when you have no idea how much it helps people. I don't post often but I go through the site daily and I have made irreplaceable friends that I am so thankful for that I donate monthly to the site just as a way of saying thank you for being here for me.

I know I went on a rant there about the site in general and you just mentioned the Christian thread area but it goes with the whole us complaining because we need to vent. Although I may have gone overboard, I apologize for going off but not enough that I will delete or change it because it needed to be said.
