True atheist pray all the time, they just deny it. Now thats Denial.

I pray? I might do it in mockery, occasionally, or pretend to do so, for the benefit of a Theist, but that doesn't mean that I actually pray.
Imagine the prayer:
Dear non-existant god...
Damn, these fundies sure are smart. I'm such a terrible atheist. I don't rape, I don't torture, I don't eat babies, or do drugs, or fornicate, or worship Athe, or believe I'll turn into a tree... I don't even PRAY. I'm hardly even an agnostic, let alone a TRUU ATHY-IST.
How dare you tell me what I do or don't do (and also how dare you take the name of a kick arse Motorhead song). You don't know me, and don't think for a second that just becauseI state that I don't believe in your imaginary sadist, that I actually do and am just afraid to admit it. It is those like you that sicken me. You truly disgust me, and i can't even find the words to say why (which is really annoying, because I feel like going on a tirade right now, but my brain is dulled after 9 hours at work after 2 hours sleep)

They don't pray for their soul or the soul of others. They pray to make their own life easier. No altruism involved more often then not.
Oh great Makemake, bestow upon this 'tard' enough of your wisdom that he might realise that he is talking crap!
Give him pause in his life that he might reflect and realise that an atheist saying "Oh, God!" isn't proof of their secret theism any more that saying "F**k you!" is a solicitation for sex.
Finally, oh great and powerful Makemake, please bestow upon these, the poorest in mental ability of you many and varied creations, the realisation that if they hear one of we atheists giving a heartfelt prayer for them, that we are being deeply ironic and more than a little facetious at their expense.
PS. if you could find time to shut a few of the worst of them up for a while, it would be appreciated!
I don't think taking your lord's name in vein counts as praying what with that being a sin or some such thing. Outside of that I don't think too many atheists or agnostics do any such thing. Also, your allegations would require some form of telepathy I would think, so proof would be quite interesting if you could. Ah, but of course fundies are eternally spared the burdon of prrof, right?
If you read it like
"True atheist pray all the time, they just deny it"
^Now that's denial
it's a lot funnier. Am i right in saying it was submitted with that in mind?
@ Frank: Yeah, it is pretty funny if read like that.
@ Spaded Ace: If that's not how you meant it, then are you saying that atheists pray more than Christians, and are thus more holy and liked by god? That seems a bit backwards if you ask me...
Atheists only pray when Hank's around:
"Please Hank, I don't want to buy a wedgie with my lunch money."
"I do? To what?
I mean, I do remember offering thanksgiving to Blizzard Entertainment for the gift of StarCraft II, but I doubt they heard."
Why did they give you StarCraft II? Are you a pro at any of there other games? I used to play TFT a lot, enter tournaments and follow the gaming scene a lot.
Now thats Denial
It sure is.
I had to sit through countless prayers at a wedding recently, at which I was Maid of Honour. The bride's mother was also an atheist, and happily, sitting next to me at the time.
We bowed our heads and put our hands together, and she quietly mumbled with the congregation. It soon became clear to me that she was, in fact, reciting several lines from her favourite movie, Hellboy . I spent the rest of the ceremony trying not to laugh.
Even when we're supposed to be praying, we're not doin' it the way you think we are.
Yep. Every day, I get up and pray to my altar of Satan/Charles Dawkins, eat a healthy bowl of baby, go out and murder a few nuns, go home, masturbate all over a donkey's corpse, look up good Christians' addresses on Google, firebomb their houses in the middle of the night, and then go back to my altar and thank the Devil for another evil, unholy day.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
