So, this is basically from my conversations with religious people which always leave me facepalming. I don't know how these statements are supposed to make someone feel better, or solve problems.
I just have to ask, when you religious people make these statements to someone else, what do you think is the outcome of these statements? Why do you make them?
--
"God will save you" - Saying that to an atheist is like saying "Harry Potter will save you"
"Have faith in God. It's all part of his grand plan"
"Keep praying. He listens to everyone."
--
Oh and of course, if I happen to state something like "I'd rather take care of my own problems, thank you." I almost always get the "OMG! YOU'RE A BLASPHEMER!" look or response.
--
After 32 years of listening to same BS, it gets really, really tiring. So if you're a religious person trying to talk to an atheist (or at least an atheist like me who gets annoyed by these useless statements), stop making these statements because they not only fall on deaf ears - but are annoying as heck.
