Re: "It offends me when people say they'll pray for me" (redux)

Atheist here. I'm not offended so long as someone isn't being smarmy about it but I'm not thrilled, either. They mean well, but am I supposed to be over the moon that they're making a show of telling me they're going to "help" me out by doing something that requires almost zero effort and will also give zero results? I just say thank you, change the subject, and remind myself never to tell this person when I'm upset ever again.


If someone told me they were going through a tough time because their dog recently died and I said, "Oh, I'm so sorry, I'll wave my hands in the air for you" they'd think I was 1) nuts and 2) an asshole for offering to do something pointless as a response to someone who's genuinely feeling bad.

We all know it's a thing they do to make themselves feel better, not you. So, yeah. Waving hands and all that.
