    because it makes no sense

    So everything in your life “makes sense”? How did you accomplish that?

    I also wouldn’t pray to my toaster unless

    I also wouldn’t recommend praying to anything that comes with an on/off switch… though I am undecided about threatening them with banishment to a landfill.

      I never said everything in life makes sense, just that praying to something you don’t think is real doesn’t.

      Obviously you believe in some form of higher power, so it makes sense that you would pray to it. But you wouldn’t pray to something you don’t at least think has a chance of existing, why would you think an atheist would?

        just that praying to something you don’t think is real doesn’t.

        Why is your thinking about this so narrow? What makes you think this is simply about praying?

        Btw - this is why triggering atheists is so much more fun than triggering believers… you’re more narrow-minded than they are.

        Obviously you believe in some form of higher power,

        There are lots of “higher powers” around - though I wouldn’t say I believe in any of them. They seem to get on just fine wiothout my belief.

        so it makes sense that you would pray to it.

        Pray to power? That’s a new one to me.

          I’m not “triggered,” I was trying to have a conversation in good faith but obviously that wasn’t your intention. Think whatever you’d like, I was pointing out how your first statement was wrong about that weird “foxhole” thing.
