Attention Atheist, can you please do me a favor and listen to me.......

142. Did you even notice that it was a surgeon who saved your eyesight,

not an invisible sky being? It was prayer that removed the cataract, but a human being, doing something scientific.

I am always gobsmacked by those who attribute to and invisible sky being that which is actually done by people, generally using science. Or, as someone else already pointed out, giving this same sky being credit for something good, but not for the bad. You maybe should tell God to fuck off since he's the one who made you lose your vision in the first place, right? But no, you prefer to think that your prayers magically fixed everything. Or that the prayers moved God to magically fix everything.

I honestly think that if you must always look outside yourself for anything worthwhile, then you will never develop the inner core needed to deal with the trials and tribulations of everyday life.

In reality, we non-believers do respect your belief system. We just get very tired of having it shoved at us, and being told we are somehow lesser because we don't buy into some particular mythology.
