That might be fine if Morrissey had just died.
Why would anyone pray for Morrissey if he was already dead?
I know religious people who pray for others even when they are completely well.
But I think posting a prayer thread for someone because they've had a bit of a sniffle and you've gotten a bit hysterical about it is an imposition on the world. Morrissey is generally a private person and, for sure, would have let us know he was desperately ill if he wanted us to know that. It doesn't seem to me particularly Christian, Buddhist, respectful or anything else to be hyping it up into something there's no evidence for.
The two parts of the bolded statement are vastly contradictory, and the second part is quite an assumption.
You're royally missing my point. I said prayers dont work. That's fact.
ACTUALLY, you're royally missing my point: they work in the sense that they help comfort the people sending the prayers. You're just being antagonistic for the sake of. This thread is not hampering or shitting on your opinion in the slightest.
Read what else I posted. I said sending one's best wishes doesn't need a sky wizard. And it doesn't. I wish Moz all the best. I didn't invoke some mystery space dude to do that. I just wish people well. It's easy to do. And if someone's God or faith system is threatened by some guy on an internet forum, then they might want to get themselves a more robust faith system, because the one they have right now doesn't stand up to the merest hint of opprobrium.
Let me repeat - one does not need a sky wizard to wish someone well.
P.
Know what else is funny? The original poster didn't even mention god. You're the one who brought religion into it. Do you smack your kids if they use the word 'pray' in your house? Can a person say, 'oh, I pray it doesn't rain today' without invoking your typical rebuke? Because it really only has to do with religion if it really f***ing bothers you. If your anti-faith system is threatened by some guy on an internet forum that you need to lash out, then you might want to get themselves a more robust anti-faith system, because the one you have right now doesn't stand up to the merest hint of the word 'prayer.'
I'm incredibly secure in my rejection of fairy tales. I don't like people being fooled, hoodwinked and indoctrinated.
This was a completely innocuous, fairly non-religious thread before you posted in it.
Religion — spirituality; two different things. You'd do well to learn that, I think.
