    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.

        So far, only one self-described atheist have attempted what you claim to have attempted - and, so far, that isn’t you.

        I will acknowledge, however, that, so far, you haven’t flown off the handle like a lot of your fellow atheists yet - there’s quite a lot of them really angry that their (alleged) rationality is not as guaranteed as they had assumed. Maybe you deserve a medal - considering that the bar is so damn low.

        …and you still haven’t - it still stands.
