Atheist Trolling

By -

'I'm praying for you " = hey I'm being judgmental and probably I think I'm better than you.
- an atheist  (who was raised Christian) on social media.

You see this phrase, and ones like it, from many atheists on social media. So much so, some of them might even believe it. Many atheists are trolls, and they live to troll people - and this phrase is one of the ones they use to troll.

It also just so happens to be, that this individual was one of the most judgemental people I ever knew growing up. Therefore, this is a classic case of #Law3 Projection.

That notwithstanding, let's go ahead and analyze. What does this phrase really mean, and why?

If somebody tells you about a problem, then one of three things is true:
1. You can solve their problem. Or, you know someone who can.
2. You can solve their problem, however they need to solve it themselves.
3. You cannot solve their problem.

Numbers one and two are self-explanatory. If somebody has a problem that you can solve, you would probably go ahead and solve it. If it was a problem you could not solve, but you knew someone who could, you would Point your friend in that direction. If it was a problem you can solve, but they need to solve it, then you would advise them on how to solve it and allow them to solve the problem themselves.

If you cannot solve their problem, then the natural reaction is to wish that you could. Naturally, you would not want them to go through this problem. Since options are limited, those who are inclined to pray, will pray. It's not really very different from another person wishing them good luck, or similar.

But trolls will be trolls.

This author has many preppers for friends, due to obvious reasons . One of the topics that comes up often is comms in an emergency situation. I have decided the hill I will stop on is local comms - as can be had via normal handheld walkies or similar. To get more range, ham radio is about the only civilian option, and I will NOT be going that way.  It is a protest. And this is why .  From the tweets : "I hate to be discouraging, but I must remind everyone that even in a time of emergency, unlicensed operation is against FCC regulations. I know that personally I've received a few tattle-telling messages from hams over the past few days who have reported to me people sharing life-saving information over the radio without a license.  This is a constant reminder that for the overwhelming majority of the ham radio hobby, there is NO emergency so severe that unlicensed operation will be accepted. Sure, net control for formal nets can operate under emergency rules, but for most ...

Reposted from Social Media: By Robyn Eshelby-Theart. ====== I'm a qualified dog behaviourist. Not only that, but I spend my entire life working with dogs. It's literally my 24/7/365 as, beyond being a behaviourist, I have a doggy daycare and boarding facility. My job is dogs. Tonight I will share something with you. And for the sake of all innocent animals, I hope that you read it. PIT BULLS ARE NOT PACK DOGS. PIT BULLS ARE NOT MULTI-PET-HOME DOGS.   Now before everyone launches into the "I know a nice pit bull who nurses kittens and walks around with a duckling on his shoulder" stories... Everyone knows a nice pit bull. If everyone here was to post their nice Pitbull story, within a minute or two people who truly understand the breed would refer 100+ pit bulls currently sitting in rescue within 50km of Fourways, with profiles on social media, whose only crime was being true to their breed design. Hundreds of Pit bulls around the country, possibly thousands in fact, ...
