I said to my friend "I hope we're not forced to pray". To which (suprisingly, as this guy is quite intelligent usually) he said, "Atheists pray anyway so what's wrong". This really annoyed me. I started to explain to him how Atheism is a lack of belief in a God and how praying is apparently talking to God, then Atheists can't talk to something that they don't believe in. Then obviously he started to attack me (verbally) with stuff like "praying isn't religious" or "atheists pray out of respect". I mean I just got so fucking pissed at this guy. He held onto his claim ever since even after telling him the dictionary definition of Atheism.
I might be wrong on this which I don't think I am but please write your response to this anyway.
Thanks.
Atheist prayer: { Oh Great Flying Spaghetti Monster, here be some bones 'n' skin 'n' such, (if any be left). Ta. }
If atheists pray, there'll be no "God", no "soul", no "heaven", no "Jesus" , no "sin" no "eternal life", no "we beseech", no . . . da de da de da . . . in the prayers.
So what in Great Flying Spaghetti Monster's name do we put into our prayers, (we atheists) ?
There are no atheists in terrorist training camps.
