That maxim, “There are no atheists in foxholes,” it’s not an argument against atheism — it’s an argument against foxholes.

Praying in that situation splits your attention from staying the fuck alive and is not recommended.

“Are all our prayers answered? Yes, they are. What people who ask that question often don’t realize is that sometimes the answer to our prayer is “no.” Dear God, please make my mother not be crazy. God’s answer: no. Dear God, please let me recover from cancer. God’s answer: no. Dear God, please take away this toothache. God’s answer: alright, but you’re going to be run over by a car.”

What’s the difference between “no” and no answer?
sangriaferret@sh.itjust.works 1 hour ago
Well, she clearly states that God never gives no answer. You see, God is omniscient. He knows what you have prayed for and you, by knowing that he is omniscient, know that He knows. Thus, if you don’t get what you have prayed for then you can safely assume, despite God not explicitly stating as such, that His answer is no.

According to the most recent studies, it turns out the name of God is
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH”

To be a party pooper, according to the old testament it’s JHWH or in long, Jehowah.

Imagine how shocked the world would be if it turns out the Arabic word for God comes from a black box recording that got swung back in time after a plane crash, with the last bit of the recording being stuck...
that last bit of recording? copilot waking up right before the crash, calling out to the pilot called Allan, but halfway through the word it turns into a scream. All-AAAAAAAH! BOOM.
And the whole world is just stuck on this otherwise insignificant fact. Never mind that someone just dug up carbon-dated 2000-ish year old (carbon-dated) contemporary technology, proving time travel is possible, or that people 2000-ish years ago managed to somehow make that tech work enough to influence the third largest language in a very significant manner... No, it's the fact that the Arabic word for God came from a guy named Allan.

tomiant@piefed.social 6 hours ago
Praying is wishing, It has the same effect. Sometimes it works, sometimes it don’t. It gives us comfort, because our brains are wired like that, if we can’t get what we want, maybe some authority can give it to us by asking nicely. Expressing it soothes us. It’s like screaming HELP! when you fell down a well. It’s not aimed at anyone in particular, it’s just a cry for anyone or anything to help you, because you’re desperate.
Shit, cats do that. Do they also pray to god?
kbobabob@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 minutes ago
It’s not aimed at anyone in particular,
But a prayer is directly aimed at one thing. I understand that there are literally hundreds of Gods, but each individual would typically only target one.

In some cases it does work. Believe can cause wonder healings. Not because of supernatural but because of subconscious.

I’d hedge my bets too if I knew I had mere minutes to live. I stand to lose nothing and I gain comfort at the end, regardless of whether or not I am rewarded with some kind of afterlife.
bampop@lemmy.world 28 minutes ago
I’ve been in a situation where I thought I might well die, and this point of view flitted across my mind, as it is bound to do. Followed immediately by the certainty that this would be the most wretched, hypocritical and worthless way to spend my final moments. If I had no survival strategies to consider or ways to contact my loved ones, I’d rather spend the time looking out the window and admiring the view.

Unless you pray to the wrong entity and suddenly don’t pass the “good person test” of whatever entity judges you.
If being a good person isn’t enough and worship is a must, you got a shitty God.

Technically counts as a prayer to god…
tomiant@piefed.social 6 hours ago
“Allahu akbar” could even be roughly translated in intention as “oh my god”, or “dear lord”, or “HOLY SHIT!”. Yes literal translation is “God is great”, but what the fuck is “Oh Jesus in heaven” if not that.

They do know that a lot of black box voice recordings are public right?
Kewlio250@lemmy.zip 6 hours ago
A lot of publicly available ones are indeed cut to preserve the dignity of the deceased. If it’s not safety or causal-related, they remove stuff fairly frequently.
There are plenty of places you can find dredged up, un-edited versions and there’s a lot more cursing involved, among other things like personal messages to loved ones.

Does ‘Oh, fuuucckkk!’ count as a prayer?
tomiant@piefed.social 6 hours ago
No, because that is an expression of acceptance.
Praying is at the “negotiation” stage of coping with impending doom.

You’re supposed to pre pray before you get on the plane.
JackbyDev@programming.dev 7 hours ago
I believe god is omnipotent and omniscient so I just prayed once for a good and healthy life. To pray often is to doubt god’s power. I don’t wanna out god in a box like that. Plus god has a divine plan that is obviously unable to be altered so why should we interject our own opinions into it? Seems like hubris to me.
