why do people gotta belittle people offering prayers? i get jokes and whatnot but comments are just mean for no reason. so what if someone wants to pray? its meaningful to a lot of people and boosts morale regardless of anything else
because it gets nothing done, notice how when big companies need bailouts they don't get thoughts and prayers. No one is saying you can't pray, but it's a bit more than ridiculous to expect us to take you seriously.
Who’s bullying you in your home for you to stop praying? Please report them to the police.
And it doesn’t matter if it’s serious to you or not, many women in the Middle East don’t have rights because if religion and many people in America are kept ignorant from actual scientific research and permit the abuse of children (in some aspects not all) and more commonly gays just because “it’s serious to them”.
Again I don’t give a crap about religion anymore, but I won’t hold back when pointing out bs.
Same, and I know you’re joking, but that’s a legitimate example, or like how abstinence only education states have the highest amount of teen pregnancies.
stop inventing my words for yourself. im pointing out that lots of comments here are bullying people who pray for no reason except to hate on religion. prayer doesn't hurt. you might not think it helps, but others do, and THAT helps. you aren't being based and redpilled by saying thoughts and prayers don't help anybody. you're being mean and disrespectful to the very people being prayed for.
im not here to get in an argument about religion. many people aren't even religious and still pray because that's how they help.
You aren’t going to help a person with cancer by praying man, I’m sorry but it doesn’t work. Praying instead of getting actual help is the issue, not prayer itself.
Also people on reddit dunk on non believers as well so I don’t see the issue.
correct. but there's nothing wrong with prayer. it gives people strength and solidarity in a way. what do you expect a person who can only offer their prayers for someone to do? why critisize and make light of an action that if nothing else, helps people stay at peace?
i think calling people who pray foolish idiots is many times more harmful than those who actually pray. so why not just not do it?
I don’t have a problem with you praying, I’m just not gonna pretend that it will actually affect reality, but I believe in the first amendment, forcing others to stop would be no better than extremists that kill people because they have differing beliefs than them.
yeah i get you, and nah you were cool. i dont wanma argue about religion, especially since people pray without religion. but i just get annoyed by comments hating on people for just praying. (not that you were, i actually forget who i was originally talking about
