Apparently neither does God. People have been praying to him since the beginning of time and so far he hasn't gave a shit either.
I swear guys you all know my opinion on atheist churches, so if he starts to bringing them up I'm not gonna take responsibility for my own vocabulary..
An example of a prayer, this is a buddhist prayer but it is entirely secular, I'm been practicing being eloquent but I haven't quite gotten the hang of it.
Quote:We gently caress you, the Earth, our planet and our home.
Our vision has brought us closer to you, making us aware of the harm we have done to the life-network upon which we ourselves depend.
We are reminded that we have poisoned your waters, your lands, your air.
We have filled you with the bones of our dead from war and greed.
Your pain is our pain.
Touching you gently, we pray that we may become peace-bringers and life-bringers so that our home in its journey around the Sun not become a sterile and lonely place.
May this prayer and its power last forever.
- Sensei Ulrich, Manitoba Buddhist Temple 3
Oh please, do enlighten me with your opinion of atheistic churches. Churches, great place to meet people, getting together for a common interest in reflection of humanity and oneself, organizing group charity events. Tax free residence, an entire order dedicated to moral teachings. All clouded by the concept of a god and people who have more authority than the congregation. If we atheists set our values in place of a god and formed a church we should have unified humanity by now.
