Going to take the bar exam and another for going for a spot at a promotion at their job. Two different people. I mean even if I believed in god, which I don't, these are two things that would be in your hands and not his/her/it/Santa Clause's. But I guess to those weirdos everything is in his hands.

My aunt has cancer, so my extended family organized a specific date and time for everyone to pray at the same time. lol. Like it's some sort of prayer boost so maybe "god" will hear it better.

When my cousin was dying I got tricked into a prayer group at the hospital. Shit was very awkward and in my head I was like "So, yeah... I'm sure this will work." She died a few days later.

Maybe it's because I don't believe and of course didn't pray so god spited the family. If only they had one more prayer she'd still be with us.

what I don't understand is when God helps specific groups/individuals over others. Like when an athlete has a great game they say it's all because of God and God helped them. So why didn't God wanna the other team to win? Did God have you guys on his parlay card that week?

praying is really awkward. I've been in a number of situations where I end up in a group prayer... for example when I go to my brother's house before we eat dinnner. everyone just holds hands and closes there eyes. I'm peeking and looking at everyone else... thinking "when is this shit gonna be over???"

also it's kinda weird to do that right before you eat. like I just washed my hands... now I'm holding hands you for 30 seconds... I gotta wash em again before I eat

I was recently at a friend's house and his dad busts out an impromptu bible study. Most awkward and uncomfortable I've felt in a long time. Couldn't wait for it to be over.

I have a friend who's parents are very religious (he's atheist) that I've known for around 13 years now. He was already out of his parents house when we started chilling so I've met his parents maybe about ten times over so over the years and without out fail every single time his mom brings out some book and tells me about where my name comese from in the Bible. Which is weird because I've read the Bible a few times and I don't remember a Cory being in there and the closest thing I can think of is Corinthians which according to her book ain't it lol.

While I understand your standpoint, & see where you are coming from & not really trying to get into a religious discussion too tough... it helps some people out to pray when in need.

weather the prayer is answered or whatever they believe, I dont think it is really the point. I think it is more of a comfort thing than anything.

RIP to your cousin though, .....I would hope the fam was not praying for her to stay alive, vs praying for comfort for her in her time of need.

.....but I do not think you should have been tricked or forced into anything, breh.
