What I dont get is anger and vitriol about whether or not someone prays. Thats emotional atheism. Thats IRRATIONAL atheism!
Here, let me wave a quartz crystal up in the air and light an incense stick.
Does that enrage clear *cough* thinking atheists too? Is it an grossly offensive insult to do that?
There is no evidence that prayer works. To cut a long story short, prayer doesn't work.
Of course we are going to make fun of people that think it does work, because they are deluded.
I'd much rather physically help a good cause than pray for a good outcome.
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.
