As a non-religious person with a few religious friends, they know not to say things like that to me. They can pray all they want for me, but I don't want to know about it. I don't believe in their gods, or prayers for that matter. I am, however, a little numb to the whole concept of religion and gods. I've seen things nobody really wants to see, and experienced quite a few things at a young age, and a lot of the problems that brought forth are still with me to this day. It's haunted me to no end, and I simply refuse to believe that any so-called god would subject "their children" to this.
I don't hate religion, I really don't. Anyone can believe in what they want, but I don't want to know about it. If you're truly praying for me, more power to you, but I don't care. I would rather have someone tell me to suck it up and deal with it whenever something bad happens, because that's atleast realistic to me, and is usually a sound advice. To me, it feels like "prayers" are just hoping it gets better, and anyone can do that, no?
