My favorite Madalyn Murray O’Hair quote is:
I’ll tell you what you did with Atheists for about 1500 years. You outlawed them from the universities or any teaching careers, besmirched their reputations, banned or burned their books or their writings of any kind, drove them into exile, humiliated them, seized their properties, arrested them for blasphemy. You dehumanised them with beatings and exquisite torture, gouged out their eyes, slit their tongues, stretched, crushed, or broke their limbs, tore off their breasts if they were women, crushed their scrotums if they were men, imprisoned them, stabbed them, disembowelled them, hanged them, burnt them alive.
And you have nerve enough to complain to me that I laugh at you.
Who is this Madalyn Murray O’Hair? She sounds awesome.
…
in 1964, Life magazine referred to her as “the most hated woman in America”.
Yup
That would actually work with infinite number of hands too. Lol
An infinite number of hands in prayer won’t even randomly create the works of Shakespeare.
They won’t even be able to change a single lightbulb.
Prayer increases entropy, and that’s all.
As if the Catholic Church isn’t simultaneously the most active charitable group, the largest educational institution, and the largest singular actor for social justice in the history of the planet.
Cool take, though; I remember being 14, too.
Countless millions were raped, enslaved, tortured, and murdered by the decree of Pope Nicholas V.
Sure, the Catholics changed their minds, but there’s a reason every major language in the Americas is European.
Suck the hot shit from my asshole.
Is that…the SUN of “God”?
This completely misunderstands the purpose of prayer.
People who pray are doing so because there’s nothing left for their hands to do. It’s a coping mechanism, hence, the opiate of the masses.
