He was making fun of a little girl who wrote a letter to Covid, telling it to stop being mean and killing people. Then she threw the letter out to the wind.
He expected me to laugh at her, instead my response was "Isn't that littering?" And then I said something like "Well I guess it isn't really different to praying when you think about It. Positive thoughts." He went deadly silent, gave me the evil eye and was angry all morning. Turned out he was a Christian, which I didn't know, and I deeply offended him. Didnt help that it is a Sunday Whoops :/ --- ^ Hey now that's completely unfair! https://imgur.com/yPw05Ob ... Copied to Clipboard!

Parasites/bacteria/ect don't kill for the fun of it. They do what they do to survive (plus that instinctive drive to reproduce). Even if the virus was listening, kompliance would be suicide.

The longer I'm away from religion and the overtly religious, the more amazed I am by the concept of prayer. God sees all and knows all. What does he need you to tell him exactly? If he can hear the silent prayers a lot believers utter, that means he can and does hear the thoughts of humans so he knows exactly what you wanted before you say anything. If he hears spoken prayers, then he hears what people are saying and already knows the situation. So again, what was the point? Some Christians think what you should only pray that God's will be done. Who else's will would God be doing? Why would the all-powerful creator of the universe need mortal cheerleaders and encouragement?
The lack of response to prayer is the biggest evidence against Christian theology. If God performs miracles, they are miracles that exist in the realm of what is ordinarily possible and don't create any statistical anomalies. No matter their religious affiliation or any other traits, God grants no prayers for people with Stage 4 cancer or who are missing limbs and even most religious are able to perform no miracles in Jesus name. The very concept of a "relationship with God" is ridiculous. It apparently consists of people stalking aloud or silently and waiting for some vague feeling or sign telling them what response, if any, God has. Regardless of what kind of being God is supposed to be, such a method of "communication" is nonsensical. There is no communication and if God wants something specific of people, we have no idea what it is. If he wanted anything or cared about what we thought, wouldn't there be a better way? ...

Youre being disingenuous.How do you know that Covid isn't a deity masquerading as a virus? An all powerful being could trick us into thinking it was something more mundane.

Since he's claiming Prayer has value but writing a letter doesn't even though it's the same practice fundamentally. His logic is that "While infinitesimal, maybe God will listen to a prayer. It's a hyperliterally non-zero, just 0.0(1x10 12)1% When if you're using that logic, literally any action has a non-zero chance of a hypothetical utterly ridiclous unsubstantiated result, the probability is just so comically low that for all intents and purposes, it's zero. There's a non zero % chance that you will be on Mars in 6 minutes. It's just that the chance is so comically close to zero that it is zero by any reasonable definition. --- ^ Hey now that's completely unfair! https://imgur.com/yPw05Ob ... Copied to Clipboard!
