Grrrr...

Why the hell can't I post something postive about prayer without (almost) all the atheists getting their panties in a wad?

I don't spend all my time trying to convert you. I don't expect that you'll change your minds over one little post I made, and I don't give you grief over your beliefs. Get over yourselves.

what i don't understand is why people don't just realize that prayer can be just the same thing as sending positive thoughts or best wishes or good vibes?

*waits for more arguing to ensue*

They don't realize it because that would violate their dogma, the same as any other sort of fundamentalist religious group.

That's right... I just asserted that atheists can be fundies too.

Of course they can. I've encountered many atheists that are just as dogmatic as any religious person.

more so even... xians think you're deluded (by satan) or evil or just plain ignorant, but fundie-atheists seem to think you are a MORON if you express any kind of "supernatural" belief

that's the most concise way i've never been able to put it. coming from someone who's borderline taoist/atheist (okay, UNdefinable), i feel pretty strongly about the bullshit that gets flung in those types of debates.

i send good vibes and positive energy. others choose to direct this in the form of prayer.

well said! :)
