[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I believe what Ernie Pyle said, "There are no Atheists in the foxholes."  When trouble comes, e.g., a child is very ill, a spouse, whatever, then I cannot help but believe an atheist does not pray, "Dear God, please save my child,"  I was brought up to believe in God and the power of prayer and I still believe and, my life has  been far from easy.  I still believe and I still pray.[/quote]

Atheist and cancer survivor here.  In my dark hours, I sure hoped that I would live to bring up my children, but no, I didn't pray.[/quote]

I bet that there were many people who were praying for your recovery, however.  Why didn't you tell everyone you knew NOT to pray for you.  That is what true atheist would do.[/quote]

I'm a Christian but I don't get why you think a 'true' atheist would tell people not to pray for them. they may think it is a pointless exercise but usually out of appreciation for people being caring and out of being polite I would expect an atheist to just say Thank you. I don't believe in 'vibes' but if someone says I am sending good vibes your way, I just say Thank you - not please don't. [/quote]
