The ones who prayed to Satan were saved.

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 40 points 2 days ago (5 children)

Praying is wishing, It has the same effect. Sometimes it works, sometimes it don't. It gives us comfort, because our brains are wired like that, if we can't get what we want, maybe some authority can give it to us by asking nicely. Expressing it soothes us. It's like screaming HELP! when you fell down a well. It's not aimed at anyone in particular, it's just a cry for anyone or anything to help you, because you're desperate.

Shit, cats do that. Do they also pray to god?

Yes, and even God can't understand what is it that they want this time.

It doesn't ever work. It just occasionally coincides with reality.

Why would cats pray to themselves?

No one laughs at god in a hospital. No one laughs at god in a war..

We are laughing at your dumb post because it references satan, as if satan, a demigod, needs a news channel to trick you into defying an omnipotent god.

"Pete, sorry" and "I love you, Amy" are just so raw

I’m pretty sure there are at least four where the last thing on them is “allahu akbar”

Technically counts as a prayer to a god...

I'd hedge my bets too if I knew I had mere minutes to live. I stand to lose nothing and I gain comfort at the end, regardless of whether or not I am rewarded with some kind of afterlife.

[–] Akrenion@slrpnk.net 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Unless you pray to the wrong entity and suddenly don't pass the "good person test" of whatever entity judges you.

If being a good person isn't enough and worship is a must, you got a shitty God.

I've been in a situation where I thought I might well die, and this point of view flitted across my mind, as it is bound to do. Followed immediately by the certainty that this would be the most wretched, hypocritical and worthless way to spend my final moments. If I had no survival strategies to consider or ways to contact my loved ones, I'd rather spend the time looking out the window and admiring the view.
