So he just assumes everyone around him is religious. Nice. I get that all of the time here in the heartland.

Wonder if he did the Alan Shepard prayer prior to seeing you?

RE: My doctor asked me to pray.
I've been waiting for someone to ask me if I've heard the good news of the lord jesus christ, just so I can respond "how could I not have? he's a real thorn in the side of my lord and savior, satan, prince of darkness..."

I would have actually looked at the doctor and said something he didn't like.

I can see where you would be happy with a doctor who was that stupid.

Seems she likes the doctor and trust him so he must not be stupid in her sight.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

No, I went to an urgent care clinic; the doc had no knowledge of me prior to coming into the exam room.  He was still reading my chart when he walked in.

I pray for people I've never met all the time, pray for their families also. What requirement do you believe Christians have to abide by to pray for strangers.

I would have asked him for some pills that don't require prayer to work.

Pray for what? That his diagnosis was correct? The medicine was correct? You are going to die next week and had not the heart/balls to tell you?

Hey. I like to make fun of your religion by creating new memes and sharing them online. Your crazy, crazy ramblings inspired me to create these two:

There's many things one can do on their knees, that give actual results, thus avoiding the extreme disappointment of prayer.
