3) To religious people prayer is a sacred…"
"Very rightly said Wesley. It's a sign that something positive is wished for the one one is praying for. But the hidden agenda is, some people actually believe & rely on prayers expecting miracles to happen. And this hope for miracles often…"
Wesley replied to Sol Invictus's discussion 'Atheist Prayer'"The ONE thing prayer does do.............is show support from friends and family. It lets people know that others care what is happening to them..even when they can't really do anything about it.
Usually when I get a prayer request on…"
Kris Feenstra replied to Sol Invictus's discussion 'Atheist Prayer'"1. I've never been able to tell. When some people say it, I get the sense that it is only intended as a general good sentiment. Others seem to use prayer as a coping mechanism without placing much emphasis on measurably…"

I DID have an AHA moment, though, after watching Zeitgeist, and even though I now reject a lot of…"
Nathan Palo replied to Sol Invictus's discussion 'Your 'Aha!' Atheist Moment'"It was really more of an 'oh, I don't really have reason to believe that either.'
It took a bit longer to realize that being an atheist is pretty awesome."
Nelson replied to Sol Invictus's discussion 'The Problem of Evil'"yeah, i do many of mine too. but what sucks is that the thread and the replies to it can no longer be a resource to others when that happens."
Joe replied to Sol Invictus's discussion 'The Problem of Evil'"Yep. I did a member search on him and there is no profile by the name of Derek King anymore."
