Atheists do you pray?
#42
RE: Atheists do you pray?
I really have huge trouble with even the most basic prayers. I come from a hardcore french roman catholic family which insists on saying grace before meals. I can't bring myself to even bow my head to their invisible sky god for their pagan meal prayer. So far nobody has noticed.

If you want to get into more "real" prayers I seriously laugh out loud when people pray to god for miracles. Even if the god works through people prayers destroy ambition meaning that an honest scientist might pray for answers rather than discovering them himself which hurts humanity. Even if this sky god was real why would he care about you? I mean prayers are just the most ridiculous thing of all time. It is simply a way of pacifying the masses with the hope that their magical god can cure everything. It's really a tool for dictators to exploit more than anything. Prayars are one the worst things ever invented preventing scientific discovery via "divine intervention" which slows humanity down at every step.
“Religion was invented when the first con man met the first fool.”
