Yeah, I feel for ya, what with you paying for the Noah's Ark theme park with your tax dollars. I hear it's just down the road from the Cretin Museum.

It is, bluntly, pointless when people say that other people in distress "are in" their "prayers". When I am aware that other people are in distress, I do something, or not. Speaking about or posting the event socially while it happens is the worst, taking the spectator's position like some god would do and bystand while the people You supposedly care about die.

Examples are the videos You see about Oklahoma in May 2013 where the video descriptions are "you are in my prayers" or "praying for you", upload the video, and abandon the city.

'Contrariwise,' continued Tweedledee, 'if it was so, it might be; and if it were so, it would be; but as it isn't, it ain't. That's logic." ~Tweedledum and Tweedledee discussing the finer points of logic

Just out of curiosity, how many of you have been told that you would be prayed for?
I believe the reason atheist live such glorious lives is because so many people pray for us! Angel Cloud

When it comes to dumb-ass Creationists and backward neanderthals, you guys can't touch us!

Portsmouth also has a creationist museum. It is rather poorly funded.
