When you have a real life problem

Can we agree that its "you should really pray about it" ? Why say anything at all. Or tell them to go sit in a room and think extra hard

I just have a hard time believing anyone ever resolved a complex life issue by "praying about it". Isn't that the same thing as thinking?

Guess it just depends on your beliefs really. Myself.....it wouldn't offend me if someone suggested prayer to me.



Sometimes we feel like we have to say something when a family/friend is struggling...sometimes it might have just been better to say "I'm sorry you are having to deal with this, I wish I knew what more to say to help"

Not as bad as "prayers sent" or "I'll pray for you".

Oh really? So you aren't going to do shite?

I have, but I wouldn't expect someone without the same faith that I have to do that. It's also not very condescending at all if someone is being genuine.

Saying some form of "deal with it" as if to say your problems are nothing compared to mine would be far more condescending. But let's be honest, you aren't actually interested in condescending advice, you just wanted a reason to rant about someone trying to cram Jesus down your throat.

Either you believe in God or you don't. You obviously don't so you should at least know that people that say that are being the least thing from condescending, THEY believe and think it will help you.

It's their nice way of saying they don't give a shite. I'm sure you have a phrase you use also.

Not to be religious but for me it's always been the "God doesn't give you more than you can handle" words of wisdom.

I have no idea what His idea of enough and mine are. Thanks for the super duper pick me up.

Whenever you're telling someone about a problem and they're like, "Hey man, it is what it is."

Well yeah. No fricking shite, retard.

Wife and I went through fertility treatments to conceive if I had a $1 for every person that told us "Relax and it'll happen" I would have had enough to cover all of our medical expenses.

Baby is due in about a week

Subtle troll rant about faith that got some bites.

6/10. Didn't get enough bites and became clear troll early.

People mean well when they say "pray about it" but it is pretty useless advice.
