If you have suffered a tragedy and someone says,
"You're in my prayers."
with sincerity, and you reply with some egotistical sh.t about
being atheist, you are an emotionally inept moron. For real,
though. Like, think about it. If someone is religious,
there's really no kinder sentiment they can express than
appealing to the highest power they know for your recovery.
Whether or not you think it "works" is irrelevent--the
kindness is absolutely real.
